Flower Patch Detail
Flora Klickmann was born in Brixton, London, one of six children.As a girl she aspired to be a concert pianist, but suffered from illness in her teens and at the age of 21 began work as a music teacher. She then moved into music journalism, and by 1895 had started contributing articles to The Windsor Magazine, one of the best-known story periodicals of the time.In 1904, she became the editor of The Foreign Field, a magazine published by the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society.By this time, she had also begun writing and editing books on crafts and etiquette, aimed at young girls.

In 1912 she suffered a breakdown through overwork and stress. While remaining as editor, she spent a period of convalescence at a rented cottage close to the small Gloucestershire village of Brockweir in the Wye valley, an area in which her grandparents had lived.[4] In 1913, she married Ebenezer Henderson Smith, one of the executives at the RTS; her married name was Emily Flora Henderson Smith. They shared a house at Sydenham in south London, and purchased a second house at Brockweir, Sylvan Lodge (now Sylvan House).
