Andrea Wulf, noted design historian and award-winning author, presents a program celebrating her newest book, The Founding Gardeners. For America's founding fathers, gardening, agriculture, and botany were elemental passions, as deeply ingrained in their characters as their belief in liberty for the nation they were creating. Through stories and historical accounts, Wulf demonstrates a guiding, but previously overlooked, ideology of the American Revolution.
