Frank Galsworthy (1863-1959) was an English watercolorist and authority on flowers and gardens. Galsworthy was born in Marylebone, London. He was the son of Sir Edwin Galsworthy and the cousin of John Galsworthy, the author of 'The Forsyte Saga' (1922). Galsworthy trained and practiced as an architect but his interests in painting led him to give up this career to develop his artistic talents. He moved to Chertsey in 1890, settling at Green Lane Farm and found contentment growing and painting flowers.
He was a member of the Royal Horticultural Society and often exhibited his paintings of flowers at their shows. He won the Society's gold medal for his paintings on a number of occasions, a prize traditionally awarded for plants. He became well known as a flower 'portraitist', recording rare breeds. Galsworthy exhibited many times both in London and overseas but was especially well received in America. He requested that no flowers be used at his funeral because he cared for them too much to let them be cut for that purpose.
