Annie M Gulvin (18 June 1876 - 1972) was one of the first two women gardeners at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
Annie Gulvin was born Mary Ann Gulvin in 1876, the daughter of Charles Gulvin, a police constable, and Mary Ann Hooker. She was one of the first female students at the previously all-male Swanley Horticultural College, and graduated top of her class.[1] The Royal Horticultural Society published rankings of its examinees, and in 1895 Gulvin placed first and won their Silver Gilt Medal.[2]
