A Vegetable Garden for the White House
Putting in a white house vegetable garden is delighting garden and food activists who want Americans to re-think how our food arrives at our table. A White House vegetable garden hasn’t happened since the Roosevelt administration. In the blog post Washington’s Not so Secret Garden, learn why the Obamas are the first white house residents in more than 60 years to put in a vegetable garden. Add to the ongoing conversation by posting your comments.

PHS McLean Library News
Lecture and Book Signing: Andrea Wulf “The Brother Gardeners”
Wednesday, April 29, 2:00 - 4:00 pm
Ewell Sale Stewart Library
The Academy of Natural Sciences
1900 Benjamin Franklin Parkway
Philadelphia, PA
Attention, book lovers, if you are a PHS member, you are cordially invited to this lecture, book signing, and reception, sponsored by the Ewell Sale Stewart Library Friends at the Academy of Natural Sciences. Hear Andrea Wulf discuss her book The Brother Gardeners; Botany, Empire and the Birth of an Obsession. This is a fascinating story of a small group of eighteenth-century naturalists who made Britain the epicenter of horticulture and transformed gardening from an aristocratic pastime into a national obsession. Networking before there was such a thing as the Internet, these brother gardeners - the American John Bartram; London merchant Peter Collinson; Philip Miller, head of the Chelsea Physic Garden; and Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus - helped shape that very English love affair with gardens. To register, call 215-299-1040 or send email to library@ansp.org.
What’s New in the Library
PHS members may borrow books from the McLean Library. No time to visit? The library will mail books and DVDs to your home or office. To learn more, email or call 215-988-8772. Here are some descriptions of new and recommended titles. To borrow these books, fill out this form
From Yards to Gardens; the Domestication of America’s Home Grounds. Christopher Grampp (2008)
For many Americans the home grounds - the yard space surrounding the single-family home - is a place to garden, plant flowers, or grow vegetables. Christopher Grampp adopts a much wider perspective by showing how the history of the American home garden is intertwined with the nation’s evolving culture, economy, and character. He argues that America’s home grounds are, first and foremost, about “habitability,” that is, about how people dwell, and he reveals how Americans have constantly transformed their front and back yards into habitable outdoor spaces from the early 1800s to the present time.
Nature’s Palette: the Science of Plant Color. David Lee (2007)
Though he didn’t realize it at the time, David Lee began this book twenty-five years ago as he was hiking in the mountains outside Kuala Lumpur. Surrounded by the wonders of the jungle, Lee found his attention drawn to one plant, a species of fern whose electric blue leaves shimmered amid the surrounding green. The evolutionary wonder of the fern’s extravagant beauty filled Lee with awe and set him on a career-long journey to understand everything about plant color.
Time-saving Gardener: Tips and Essential Tasks, Season by Season. Carolyn Hutchinson (2008)
A practical how-to reference designed for busy gardeners who can venture into their gardens for only a few hours a week. It shows how to make the best possible use of gardening time and identifies the truly essential tasks that need to be done.
A Natural History of Conifers. Aljos Farjon (2008)
Leading expert Aljos Farjon provides a compelling narrative that observes conifers from the standpoint of the curious naturalist. It starts with the basic question of what conifers are and continues to explore their evolution, taxonomy, ecology, distribution, human uses, and conservation. The taxonomic diversity of conifers is huge, and Farjon describes how, over the course of three hundred million years, these trees and shrubs have adapted to survive geological upheavals, climatic extremes, and formidable competition from flowering plants.

Garden Q & A
Our gardening experts volunteer their time to answer your questions. Use the form on our web site.
Q. Hello! I am marrying in early October, and in an effort to have eco-friendly centerpieces was hoping to have flowering plants or shrubs that would have floral blooms on the lavender color spectrum around that time. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you, Laura H., Philadelphia
A. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! The fall is a lovely time. We are assuming you are looking for suggestions of garden flowers and shrubs, rather than florist flowers, so we will be addressing what is in bloom in the Philadelphia area in early October. We are not sure if you plan to grow your own, which will be a challenge for the quantity you most likely will need.
The most common flowers of fall are mums and asters. Both come in many shades of purple and lavender. Another group of plants are the salvias which bloom late summer into autumn. Salvia leucantha is one in particular. Callicarpa (commonly known as Beautyberry) is a shrub with purple berries that would combine well with your centerpieces. To see an image of this Gold Medal plant, click here. Caryopteris (commonly called Blue Mist Shrub) is also a shrub with blue-y purple flowers. See images here.
If you are willing to lean into the pink range, fall anemones might work well. To learn more about wedding flowers, consult these books in the PHS McLean Library.
Hope this helps you get started.
