Brenda Colvin CBE (1897–1981) was a British landscape architect, author of standard works in the field and a force behind its professionalisation.
[4] In 1969, she was joined by Hal Moggridge as partner; the firm continues under their joint names.
[8] Colvin designed many gardens, including one with the socialite Norah Lindsay at the Manor House in Sutton Courtenay, and one at Burwarton.
[4] One of her most historically significant garden designs still remains at Aberystwyth University which is now listed,[10] the listing states "The landscaping of the University of Wales, Aberystwyth campuses, particularly the earlier Penglais campus, is of exceptional historic interest as one of the most important modern landscaping schemes in Wales...One section of the Penglais campus was designed by the well known landscape architect Brenda Colvin and is one of the very few of her schemes to have survived.
A number of women have played a key role in the development and planting of the whole site."
