This special issue journal brings together, for the first time, articles that study the didactic landscape as an artefact from broad spatial perspectives with a particular emphasis on the nineteenth-century to the present. The collection originated with a group of design historians who have a common interest in exploring meaning in the design of institutional landscapes. The essays examine how the parks or gardens of institutions express and reinforce their function and agendas. By its very definition, an institution has power over the spaces it inhabits and expresses distinct messages to the users of those spaces—it is a didactic space. The six articles define and explore a typology of institutional gardens and designed landscapes, conceived and designed with agendas, explicit or implicit, to advise, educate or moralise. Scholarship on the designs of institutional spaces is chiefly centred on architecture and has overlooked the role of the garden or landscape in the functioning and experience of the institution. A spatial understanding of an institutional building has enabled a study of institutional power and politics. A study of the institutional garden and landscape expands this knowledge to include the role of nature and the outdoors in its design and uses. While the genealogy of institutional landscapes with their functional and metaphorical allusions to divine order and political power has been traced to antiquity, the institutional landscape, a didactic space, which became more visible and diverse with the growth of social and political institutions such as museums, asylums and factories in the nineteenth century, has not so far been examined comparatively and culturally. These essays contribute to the scholarly literature investigating meaning in landscape and garden design which has proliferated since the 1980s, stimulated by a body of work within cultural and historical geography, landscape archaeology and history. The collection also responds to more recent research from a variety of disciplines, which has extended knowledge of nonelite gardens as ‘sites of cultural contact’. Within this scholarship of multiple perspectives, debates about the relationships between landscape, power and politics loom large, for as Gailing and Leibenath have recently argued, citing Kenneth Olwig, a landscape does not just express a polity’s values, conventions, customs and practices, but above all it is an expression of hegemonic power. Readers of these essays will be very familiar with examples of those in power using landscape design to impose their authority—from the processional routes of antiquity to Louis XIV’s gardens at Versailles, to General Motors' corporate landscape in Detroit. These heroic didactic landscapes are outspoken in communicating their power. To understand the more nuanced layers of meaning contained within the institutional gardens and parks discussed in this special issue, the authors have found not only Michel Foucault’s work on

ions into fact. Makins was a representative of that quintessentially English phenomenon, the safe pair of hands. Ever since his congratulatory First Class award from Christ Church College, Oxford, in 1925, he had made a success of more or less everything he had attempted. In a distinguished career, sorting out the Kennedy Memorial was a footnote at best, and one that does not even merit mention in his compendious Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry. Against a background of bureaucratic manoeuvring, Sir Roger had to choose a designer to whom the aesthetic challenges of the memorial site at Runnymede could be transferred. In search of such a person, a letter was sent out, twice, on the 15 April 1964: to Gordon Ricketts, the Secretary of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA); and to the Secretary of the Landscape Institute — erroneously aggrandised in this instance to the Royal Institute of Landscape — Miss Alison Dale. Both were asked to ‘suggest the names of one or two consultants who would advise [Sir Roger Makins’s] committee on [...] matters connected with the memorial and site at Runnymede’. The RIBA wrote back with a shortlist of three — Peter Shepheard, Frederick Gibberd and Jellicoe. The Landscape Institute offered only one name, that of their co-founder and former president Geoffrey Jellicoe, though their incumbent president, L Milner White, also suggested ‘that in a matter of such public interest a competition for the design might be held’. Shrewd Sir Roger ignored this time-consuming and perilously open-ended option. Thus was sealed the fate of one of British landscape design’s best-known commissions. Jellicoe would go on to produce other highly regarded works, including the garden at Sutton Place (1980), the unbuilt Moody Gardens at Galveston, Texas (1984) and the gardens at Shute House in Dorset (1993). Though by no means a household name in 1964, he was already recognised in professional circles for his designs between the Wars at Pusey House and Mottisfont Abbey (1936–39); and after 1945 for his contribution to the Festival of Britain’s Lansbury Estate (1951) and theWater Gardens at Hemel Hempstead (1959). Yet even with these to his name, Geoffrey Jellicoe must have been pleasantly surprised by the ease with which the plum Kennedy Memorial commission fell into his lap. Makins met Jellicoe for the first time, at Runnymede, on Saturday 2 May 1964. Back at work the following Monday, the mandarin ventured into memorandum and letter to tell fellow civil servants that Jellicoe was ‘recommended to us as the best man for the job’, ‘not only willing but anxious to do the work’, and, very conveniently, that ‘his first thoughts are very much in line with [...] mine’. After the site visit, Jellicoe acted with equal celerity. He wrote to Makins on 4 May: ‘just to confirm, if confirmation is necessary, that I am very pleased and honoured to undertake the Kennedy Memorial at Runnymede.
