These plants, whose very names conjure up a bygone world, were among the great variety of flowers and herbs grown in America’s colonial and early Federal gardens. In this sumptuously illustrated book, a leading historic plant expert brings this botanical heritage back to life.\nDrawing on years of archival research and field trials in Colonial Williamsburg’s gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, Lawrence Griffith documents fifty-six species of flowers and herbs and provides details on how they were cultivated and used. For each plant, an elegant period hand-colored engraving, watercolor, or woodcut is presented along with glorious new photographs by Barbara Temple Lombardi.\nThis book is a dazzling treat for armchair gardeners and for those who have visited and admired the famous gardens of Colonial Williamsburg. It is also an invaluable companion for twenty-first-century gardeners who will appreciate the specific advice of a master gardener on how to plan, choose appropriate species for, and maintain a beautiful, historic flower and herb garden.\nThe Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is a not-for-profit educational institution that operates the world’s largest living history museum.\nPublished as un-jacketed version in association with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789669982261,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300164548","price":25.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300164541_ff309ad9-3704-418c-ab0c-62ad84bcaa6d.jpg?v=1784758244","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/flowers-and-herbs-of-early-america-9780300164541","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
