Mac Griswold reveals to us a domestic George Washington who gathers seeds and sows them, transplants, propagates, grafts, and prunes trees himself, and notes down his successes and failures. Because Washington was away from his home for so many years--at war and as president--he left for historians a wealth of correspondence that documented every step of his creation of Mount Vernon. Out of this material, Mac Griswold paints a vivid picture of 18th-century American gardening and lifestyle. Additionally, the book provides horticultural instructions from Mount Vernon's horticultural staff for today's hands-on gardeners. Published by Historic Mount Vernon. Originally priced $40.00 Item #: 3965 Price: $40.00 Sale Price: $24.99 Qty: Garden House Dinner Bell
