@AAKnopf Alfred A. Knopf Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison were dirt-under-the-fingernails gardeners says Andrea Wulf: http://ow.ly/4VD0w
This tweet just made my day. I reviewed (and adored) Andrea Wulf’s book Brother Gardeners: Botany Empire and the Birth of Obsession in 2009. She hinted in interviews 3 years ago that she was working on a new book - about the gardening habits of the American Founding Fathers. The Founding Gardeners: How the Revolutionary Generation Created an American Eden is the book she promised. And I’m very excited to see that it’s finally here!
