“…Loudon was convinced that gardening could be an input, a healthy diversion, and an opportunity for bourgeois ladies, whose lives essentially revolved around managing the home and caring for the family, to show their creativity (Hultzsch, 2020). In 1841, she edited Ladies' Magazine of Gardening, specifying that, through these choices, she did not intend to "usurp" the role of men, but rather to make women more aware of their potential, encouraging them to develop and channel it in a positive and rewarding way.…”

The history of gardening and landscaping has historically been a male monopoly, and until the 20th century, women could not get anywhere near a career in these fields. This brief review focuses on some of the women who paved the way in Europe and the USA. It also attempts to tell some lesser-known stories, focusing on those who turned to gardening and landscaping, subjects that have been much less explored in floriculture. This review does not claim to be exhaustive, although it does attempt to draw attention to a historical period between the Victorian age and the present day. Women’s significant contributions range from dissemination to teaching, research, education, association and popularization of gardening and landscaping. In this paper, we briefly discuss, in the 21st century, men and women who may have similarities in education and work experience, but these similarities do not lead to comparable careers or positions in academic departments. Some scientific studies that have an impact on the design and sustainable management of green spaces linked to ecosystem services are considered. Finally, the contribution of women in landscape architecture is briefly examined.
