Florence Yoch (1890–1972) was an important American landscape architect in California who was active from 1915 through the 1950s. Her career included commissions for private residential clients, parks, public spaces, and film sets for Hollywood movies, including the grounds for Tara in Gone with the Wind. Many credit Florence with helping develop a distinctively Californian interpretation of classic European Gardens.
