A follow-up to Andrea Wulf's award-winning and critically acclaimed
history of British gardening, this is the story of how George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and James Madison's
passion for nature, plants, agriculture and gardens shaped the
birth of America. Through a series of vignettes spanning the
Declaration of Independence to the death of Adams and Jefferson
exactly fifty years to the day afterwards, these stories that weave
the political, the personal and the botanical and are in turns
funny, fascinating and moving. The Founding Gardeners shows that it
is impossible to understand these visionary men and the American
nation without considering their love of gardening.
