Geraldine "Gerry" Knight Scott (July 16, 1904 – August 2, 1989)[citation needed] was a California landscape architect.

She decided in high school to become a landscape architect and enrolled in UC Berkeley's College of Agriculture in 1922.

She spent nearly two years abroad surveying historic Italian villas through the Accademia delle Arti in Rome and visiting the famous gardens of France and Spain.

[2][4] In 1939 she married Los Angeles journalist Mellier G. Scott, with whom she shared a strong interest in urban and regional planning issues.

Acting as the local landscape architect, Scott was in charge of plant selection and numerous other horticultural and construction related details.

Her classes covered site planning, planting, and design, and integrated sculpture, painting, and dance as tools for seeing and feeling space before articulating it with trees and shrubs.

[3] In 1962, the Landscape Architecture Department asked Scott to manage the newly acquired Blake Estate.

She served on the ASLA task force on women in landscape architecture from 1974–75, and in 1981 she was elected to distinguished membership of the Sigma Lambda Alpha honor society.
