Kathleen Lloyd Jones

Kathleen Letitia "Kitty" Lloyd Jones (4 June 1898 – 9 July 1978) was a Welsh born garden designer and nurserywoman.

[4] She was an exceptional student but the only work she could find was teaching the teenage daughter of Mrs Balfour.

Lady Gladstone would give Jones her first commission which was to design a 100 yard long curved border.

[3] She would stay at Upton house for a few nights and she would send long letters to Lady Bearstead about her gardens.

The letters which were sent from 1931 to 1934 are extant and they include lists of plants that Lady Bearstead would approve before the gardener, Mr Tidman, enacted them.
