Brenda Colvin

Brenda Colvin CBE (1897–1981) was an important British landscape architect, author of standard works in the field and a force behind its professionalisation. She was part of the Colvin family, which had long ties to the British Raj. She was born in India where her father, Sir Elliot Graham Colvin, was a senior administrator in Kashmir and Rajputana. (His father, John Russell Colvin (1807 – 1857), was lieutenant-governor of the North-West Provinces during the Indian Mutiny, at the height of which he died.)
Colvin received her training in garden design from Madeline Agar at Swanley College〔(Brenda Colvin at Oxford Dictionary of National Biography )〕 (now Hadlow College, which continues to teach University of Greenwich courses in the subject). Agar and Colvin worked together on Wimbledon Common.〔(Garden Visits page )〕 Colvin set up her own practice in 1922; not until 1969 was she joined by Hal Moggridge as partner; the firm continues under their joint names.〔(Colvin & Moggridge page )〕
Colvin co-founded the Institute of Landscape Architects in 1929 (later the Landscape Institute), and became its president in 1951.〔(English Heritage page )〕 She wrote ''Land and Landscape'' (1947, revised 1970). Colvin shared an office with Sylvia Crowe, later also president of the ILA (1957–1959).
Colvin designed many gardens, e.g. with the socialite Norah Lindsay at the Manor House in Sutton Courtenay, and at Burwarton.〔(English Heritage page )〕 She also worked on industrial landscaping, e.g. around power stations, and the University of East Anglia. Her own garden was at Filkins in the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, now the office of Colvin and Moggridge. Sometimes the company opens it via the National Gardens Scheme.
