George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison regarded themselves foremost as farmers and plantsmen, and for them gardening, agriculture, and botany were elemental passions--as deeply ingrained in their characters as their belief in the nation they were creating. In a beautifully illustrated talk, award-winning historian Andrea Wulf will explore the lives of the founding fathers and how plants and politics would intertwine like never before.
