ABSTRACT
Tunnard’s place in the history of garden design began to be acknowledged in the late 1980s. Jane Brown gave him several pages in The English Garden in Our Time on the strength of Gardens in the Modern Landscape (1938) and his work in England.1 Tunnard was also written up from an English perspective in Landscape Design with the regret that at Yale ‘Tunnard seems to have become swamped by the American system’.2 Brown then included him in a book on influential gardeners.3 This was reviewed in The New York Times with the information that ‘he left England in 1939 and spent much of the rest of his life in the United States, mostly at Harvard, writing and teaching’.4
