#February 4, 1912
#OTD Lanning Roper, #American #Landscape #Architect & #Writer is born.
When Vita read "Successful Town #Gardening," she gushed, "[His] #Book... has cheered me up so much."
In 1952, Lan married a #Muralist & #Gardener #Primrose Harley (born on #PrimroseDay). She was his helpmate.
Known as the Father of Borders, Lanning loved #Romantic #Gardens w/ lavender & roses, spilling onto paths. His cancer sadly stopped him from working at Charles & Di's new place: #Highgrove.
