Doan R. Ogden (1908–1989) born in Wildwood, Michigan was a nationally noted landscape architect during the 20th century.
He moved to North Carolina to teach at Warren Wilson College, then known as the Farm School, after he graduated from Michigan State University.
He was celebrated for being one of the first landscape architects to effectively and aesthetically incorporate native species into the natural design of his gardens.
He also did landscaping for notable private homes, banks, shopping centers, supermarkets, hospitals, office buildings, physicians' offices and dozens of other public buildings.
In 1975 he was awarded the Blue Ridge Regional Green Bronze Medal of the Men's Garden Clubs of America.
