October 8, 1900 – July, 17, 1996.

Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe RA VMH was an English architect, town planner, landscape architect, garden designer, lecturer and author. His strongest interest was in landscape and garden design.

The world is moving into a phase when landscape design may well be recognized as the most comprehensive of the arts. Man creates around him an environment that is a projection into nature of his abstract ideas. It is only in the present century that the collective landscape has emerged as a social necessity. We are promoting a landscape art on a scale never conceived of in history.
