About the Program
Andrea Wulf explores the Founding Father's interests in botany and agriculture. Ms. Wulf focuses on the first four Presidents and their fondness for gardening from Washington's vigilant oversight of his Mount Vernon estate to Jefferson and Adams' study of agricultural design and Madison's understandings of conservation. Andrea Wulf speaks at the home of 18th century botanist, John Bartram, whose garden was visited by many delegates of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia.
