In January 2020 I gave a talk on Fanny Wilkinson, Britain’s first professional woman landscape gardener, to FOLAR (Friends of the Landscape Archive at Reading University).

The talk is now available to view online here.

This talk is based on my research on Fanny Wilkinson contained in Enterprising Women: the Garretts and their circle. This is the story of a group of women around the Garrett family, who in the second half of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth changed the position of women in Britain forever.
