Brooke Hindle, The Pursuit of Science in Revolutionary America, 1841

Page 54: Garden’s own most important contributions were made in botany. He maintained a small garden and explored an area near his home with great care, but except for one 250-mile trip into the Carolina back country with Governor James Glen, he did none of the wide traveling that John Bertram undertook. When Ellis suggested that the garden fanciers in England would be happy to pay hime for any seeds he might send over, Garden briskly rejected the suggestion. Whatever he could collect would be solely for his friends, he declared. Garden wanted to become a “philosophic botanist” not a more “observatory” and in the end, he certainly succeeded.

Page 197: The American society also published a recipe for currant wine, along with Isaac Bertram’s old paper on the distillation of persimmons. Bertram was aware of the use of persimmon beer in the southern back country but what he sought to develop was a rum-like hard liquor. More widespread efforts were made to encourage viniculture, silk culture, and the raising of hemp and flax. These crops had been encouraged from almost the beginning of settlement in America. They were not distasteful to the English nor did they conflict with imperial policy. At the same time, they promised to increase the riches and potentialities of America. Americans of all shades of political opinion could join in supporting the cultivation of new products, convinced that they were acting in the best interests of patriotism.

Page 212: The American Philosophical Society accepted the work of the committee and published in its first volume of ‘Transactions’ a summary of its recommendations illustrated by an excellent map showing the routes surveyed. The society labelled the surveys “public-spirited undertakings,” having a “tendency to advance the landed and commercial interest of the British Colonies in general, and particularly of those Middle Colonies with which they are more immediately connected.” Many letters to the Philadelphia newspapers in 1769 and 1770 indicated that there was much support in Philadelphia and the back country for the fulfillment of the proposals but that the Marylanders were distinctly less enthusiastic.

Page 325: In 1785, Humphry Marshall sought to promote a more limited expedition to explore the West within the boundaries of the United States. Support could not even be found for this objective although the ever ready John Coakley Lettsom offered to contribute twenty guineas toward a year-long expedition. Marshall’s idea was to send William Bartram and Dr. Moses Marshall, his nephew, out “to make Observations, etc. upon the Natural productions and Curiosities of those Regions.” Through Thomas Parke and Benjamin Franklin, he sought to gain support of the American Philosophical Society, but was told “few among us seem devoted to investigate the beauties of Natural History—.” He thought, too, of winning Congressional support. The only result of this project was the brief botanical tour made by Moses Marshall from Pittsburgh to the back country of South Carolina in 1789.

Enjoy the Dog Days of Summer at a Dog-Friendly Botanical Garden!

It’s been said that “Friendship is like a beautiful garden.  The more you put into it, the more it grows.” Pet parents can nurture both their love of nature and their love for their furry family members with a visit to a botanical garden. From annual dog-friendly summer events to gardens that welcome dogs year-round, following are a few of the botanical gardens from coast to coast where you and Rover can literally stop and smell the roses.
