Plants Across the Pond with Letta Jones
The eighteenth century saw a huge influx of exotic plants, transforming the options available to 18th-century owners, nurserymen and gardeners. During the early years of the 18th century, many of these plants and trees were from North America and the trade in these plants was dominated by two individuals, Peter Collinson and John Bartram. In this talk, Letta Jones will examine the importance of these two individuals and the impact of the plants they introduced, an impact still being felt today.
