Lorna Fielden was a long time friend to Walling and helped edit and collate many of her books. Walling built Fielden a cottage at Bickleigh Vale called 'Lynton Lee'. Their relationship involved a sharing of duties: Walling did the heavy physical work and Fielden often did the domestic work.

A former teacher, Fielden was also a published poet. Walling wrote the introduction to her book of poems "The Gardener's Warning", describing Fielden's book: "of all the gardening books I have yet read this one has delighted me the most." Two poems, 'my wife' and 'my husband' mention Gertrude Jekyll, thyme and spanish gardens, and sound as though they might be describing Walling.

Fielden and Walling are buried next to each other below two magnificent trees at Buderim Cemetery, Queensland. They died exactly four years apart.
