Brenda Colvin was a pioneering landscape architect who was responsible for many of the New Town’s parks and open spaces.
and Liverpool School of Architecture are inviting people to celebrate the remarkable woman who “made East Kilbride what it is”.
“Particular attention was given to tree planting and the creation and preservation of shelterbelts, and a continuous forest belt round the south and west of the built-up areas.”Dr Allen adds: “She chose which trees were to be retained from the existing landscape to add character and a sense of place for the new residents from Glasgow’s overcrowding. She also drew up plans for things like drying greens and childrens’ play spaces in The Murray area of the town.
Organisers are hoping people will share memories and bring along their own photographs and memorabilia.
