Theodore Wirth (1863–1949) was instrumental in designing the Minneapolis system of parks.
Swiss-born, he was widely regarded as the dean of the local parks movement in America.
The various titles he was given included administrator of parks, horticulturalist, and park planner.
Before emigrating to America in 1888, he worked as a florist and landscaper in Zurich, London, and Paris.
He married Leonie Mense, the daughter of his employer in Glen Cove, Long Island, before taking a job as superintendent of parks in Hartford, Connecticut in 1896, where he developed the first municipal rose garden in the country.
