Several great Americans come to mind. Thomas Jefferson and George Washington both displayed a skillfull sense of design and knowledge of plant materials. Elite home owners in Colonial Williamsburg layed out gardens with an English formality and a self sufficient style .
"No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden. I am still devoted to the garden. But though an old man, I am but a young gardener." Thomas Jefferson
Michael Davis, 2011
