Gardeners around the world now use a naturalistic bulb planting technique which Jacqueline developed, where bulbs are mixed, then gently tossed by the handful and planted where they fall, to mimic nature's own design. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With a casual, eclectic elegance admired the world over, each corner of van der Kloet's garden reflects an important aspect of her creative process.
