Presidential Gardeners Program:
This presentation will focus on a few of our past U.S. Presidents who were gardeners. You will be surprised at how our country’s founding fathers took both pride and pleasure in growing vegetables, herbs, importing exotic plants, and designing elaborate gardens at their homes before and after the time they spent at the White House. Focusing mainly on the efforts of Jefferson, Adams, and Washington, pieces of their personal plant preferences, gardening philosophy, and lasting horticultural legacy will leave you with even more appreciation for these men that formed our country. The session will be led by Carol Labuzzetta, a Bluff Country Master Gardener Volunteer, who has held certification since 2004 and developed a local after-schoold garden club for students at Evergreen Elementary in Holmen.
