Today we celebrate a woman who was outcast and imprisoned in her own home and so she became a gardener. We'll also learn about a man who wrote one of the most useful and beautiful medical botany books. We’ll hear a charming garden verse from an English writer and poet. We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book about one of America’s greatest botanists. And then we’ll wrap things up with a sweet little garden poem from an American poet laureate.   Subscribe Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart To listen to the show while you're at home, just ask Alexa or Google to “Play the latest episode of The Daily Gardener Podcast.” And she will.
