17C Europeans landing onto North America's East Coast coped with unfamiliar weather & geography by creating spaces to meet basic needs for shelter, medicines, & food.

With the additional help of offspring & imported servants & slaves, growing plants in farm fields often became economic enterprises for both local & export exchanges.

In the 18-19C, many gentry transformed the gardens near their homes into artistic displays hoping to project a desired image of themselves to others - their wealth, power, refinement, & beliefs.

Welcome!

Focusing mostly on mankind's evolving history & beliefs, -- often influenced by my passion for plants, gardens, & landscapes & for the changing lives of women -- I put together several blogs, different in the particulars but similar in the essentials.

Honored to have you here - Welcome!
