In addition to household belongings, tools and clothing, the first settlers in the American colonies also brought with them seeds, bulbs, and cuttings of their favorite plants. These, along with native flora and botanical specimens imported later from other parts of the world, comprised the decorative plants grown in colonial gardens.This charming and informative volume focuses on 160 trees, shrubs and flowers that are the principal ornamental species planted in the restored gardens of Colonial Williamsburg, where landscape architect have attempted to faithfully recreate typical nineteenthcentury gardens.
