Step into history and horticulture! This summer, we are reading Andrea Wulf’s critically acclaimed Founding Gardeners. At the conclusion of the summer, we will enjoy a conversation about the book, guided by educators from the Arboretum.
About the Book
Founding Gardeners explores the Founding Fathers’ passion for plants. It offers a well-researched and thought-provoking interpretation of early American history, one that connects the founders’ zeal for agriculture and gardening to their thoughts on politics, independence, self-sufficiency, and patriotism. Discover how ideas fledged in the colonial period influence our landscapes to this very day!
