Growing Green - Good garden reads
When I am not able to garden, I enjoy reading gardening magazines, catalogs and how-to books. In all this reading, I never considered looking into the history of gardening. Now, I know a little bit about Lewis and Clark, their voyage of discovery, and their collection and cataloging of native species (check the Latin names of many of our plants, if the species is lewisii, then it’s one of Meriweather Lewis’ many discoveries).By: Robin Trott, U of M Extension educator, Alexandria Echo Press
