Pandanus Tectorius ‘Jorum’ Watercolor on Vellum 28 5/32 X 23 15/32 Inches Mariko Ikeda Jorum Pandanus
Abundant Future: Cultivating Diversity in Garden, Farm, & Field The Fourth New York Botanical Garden Triennial November 21, 2020–March 26, 2021 Abundant Future: Cultivating Diversity in Garden, Farm, and Field celebrates the astonishing diversity and fascinating history of cultivated plants grown for clothing, healing, and most of all, for food. The subjects of these works were discovered on international travels, picked up at the farmer’s market, even plucked from artists’ own gardens. As the artists spent time with their chosen plants to ensure faithful depictions, they each learned about the history of cultivated varieties or the signifcance of wild relatives that played an important role in yielding the fruits and vegetables we know today. The exquisite works on view here celebrate the artistry of plant breeding; the challenges of maintaining genetic diversity in domesticated crops, many of which have lost traits that can help them resist climate change, environmental stresses, and disease; and the potential for rejuvenation to be found in heirloom and ancient plant revival. All images © the artists Pumpkins, Squashes, and Melons There are hundreds of species in the Cucurbitaceae (cucurbit) family. Pumpkins, squash, gourds, melons, and even gherkins were frst cultivated in Central America. Species native to Central America, Cucurbita pepo, C. moschata, and C. maxima, were dispersed through trade and have become integral to cuisines worldwide. These species were bred through selection and hybridization to best suit the culinary needs of each culture. In Korea, Cucurbita moschata—typically thought of as tough-skinned squash or pumpkin with a “shell” like that of butternut squash—was bred to produce a thin-skinned, summer squash called aehobak, which is used in a multitude of recipes in Korean cuisine.
