Hardback. Etat : Good. A celebration and a salute to 100 brave, determined, creative women over the past few centuries who have shaped North America''s heritage and landscapes through their horticulture work and contributions. Through tales of invention, creativity, dogged research, innovation, perspiration, and inspiration spanning from the early 1700s to the mid-1980s, Heroines of Horticulture offers readers insight into 100 influential women who met and overcame obstacles to contribute a horticulture legacy that has helped shape the land that surrounds us today in North America. Many of the featured women are unknown or forgotten figures of horticulture history, making this book an overdue opportunity to acknowledge their work and celebrate their achievements that have left a lasting legacy. Profiles include the following: Martha Danielle Logan (1704-1779): An early American botanist who was instrumental in seed exchanges between Britain and the North American colonies. She wrote an influential gardening advice column and was a major collector of plants endemic to the Carolinas. Annie Linda Jack (1839-1912): The first Canadian professional female garden writer. Upon her marriage, she had stipulated for 1 acre of land to be devoted to any department of horticulture she chose, the profits to be her own pocket money. She wrote about her experiences in the Rural New Yorker, under the title "A Woman''s Acre." The American horticulturalist Liberty Hyde Bailey referred to Annie Linda Jack''s garden as "one of the most original gardens I know." Mary Gibson Henry (1884-1967): An American botanist and plant collector from Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, who also served as president of the American Horticultural Society. The daylily Hymenocallis henryae is named in her honor. Nelva Weber (1908-1990): An American landscape architect who wrote extensively about landscape design. She opened her practice in 1945 in New York City. Prior to that, she worked on the Palisades Parkway with C. C. Combs. She was also employed by the architecture firm Shaw Maess & Murphy and later as a designer on city parks for the New York City Parks Department. And many more Heroines of Horticulture is the perfect addition to the shelves and coffee tables of gardening enthusiasts and women''s history and feminist history readers and makes a great gift for anyone with a love of gardening or landscape design and history. …

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The stories of 100 brave, creative, pioneering women who shaped North America's heritage and horticultural landscape. Heroines of Horticulture is a celebration and a salute to 100 brave, determined, creative women who shaped North America's heritage and its landscape. They needed courage and determination, and there are tales of invention, creativity, dogged research, innovation, perspiration, and inspiration that helped shape North America: . Founded many currently public gardens and estates . Helped design and shape various city and community public spaces . Contributed to the preservation of legacy heirloom plant species and the research regarding them . Produced variants of popular flower species that are still honored and recognized today The range of their accomplishments is vast, the variety of their talents is amazing, and the legacy they have left is enduring. In addition to being of interest to gardeners, this book is an insight into the history of the emerging, developing nations of the USA and Canada, and also a celebration of how women met and overcame obstacles to achieve equality with men. We all owe them a great deal, but many of the featured women are little known and hardly recognized, which makes this book an overdue opportunity to acknowledge their work and celebrate their achievements. AUTHOR: After retirement from a successful entrepreneurial career, UK-based author Stefan White started public speaking, focusing on horticultural history, leading to a career as guest lecturer on international cruise ships and to writing this book. SELLING POINTS: . The stories of 100 brave, creative, pioneering women who shaped North America's gardening heritage . In addition to gardeners, the book will appeal to all interested in North American history and women's rights and equality . Written by a well-known horticultural historian and lecturer and member of the Royal Historical Society 175 colour and b/w images The stories of 100 brave, creative, pioneering women who shaped North America's heritage and horticultural landscape.
