Jensen, Jens (1860–1951)

Danish-born US landscape architect. He was superintendent of Humboldt Park, a position he held until 1900. Creating the ‘prairie style of landscape design’, he distributed local plants along broad lawns for midwestern parks 1900–35, retiring to run Clearing, a rustic school of landscape design in Wisconsin.
