Early professional female landscape gardener receives English Heritage blue plaque
Fanny Wilkinson, believed to be Britain’s first professional female landscape gardener, and a campaigner for the protection of open space in London, has been commemorated with a blue plaque, English Heritage announced today (7 June 2022). Marking the façade of the flat on Shaftesbury Avenue, where Wilkinson lived and worked between 1885 and 1896, the plaque will look out onto the small open space that she laid out over 130 years ago, just a few months before moving into the flat. In reference to the spot outside her future home, she recommended that, 'if some trees were planted, or seats placed on it, it would be a great boon to this crowded neighbourhood'.
