Learn how these plants were used for food, textiles, and everyday remedies while discovering how historians and gardeners reconstruct historic landscapes using period sources. Along the way, Anna will share stories about early American gardening practices, heirloom plant varieties, and the role gardens played in the daily life of families living along the Delaware River during the Revolutionary era.
