Evelyn Mary Booth (1897–1988) was an Irish botanist, designer of the gardens at Lucy's Wood, and writer of The Flora of County Carlow.
[3] Through her father, Booth was related to Robert Barton, a signatory of the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty, and Erskine Hamilton Childers, President of Ireland, from 1973 to 1974.
As a young woman, Booth took part in many horse shows, including those at the Royal Dublin Society grounds in Ballsbridge.
In 1963 Booth attended the inaugural meeting of the Irish Regional Branch of the Botanical Society of the British Isles, and was elected to the committee, which she served for many years.
Booth's interests extended to fauna also, and she is considered an early environmentalist, recording surveys of butterflies, dragonflies, birds, and some Crustacea for the Natural History Museum, the National Herbarium, and An Foras Forbartha.
