Description
Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary at NYBG through the plants and foods that tell the stories of American history. In the Garden's Mertz Library see historic botanical illustrations, planting ledgers, books, and cookbooks dating from the Revolutionary War to the Victory Gardens of World War II and beyond. The Garden's Barnsley Beds showcase how America’s agriculture and planting habits changed over time, from Indigenous foodscapes to the Transatlantic Slave Trade, the Great Migration, and the state of food plants today.
