  • BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN Women in Science PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET
    BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN Women in Science PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET Student Name INTRODUCTORY READING ". Student Resources in A Brief History of Brooklyn Botanic Garden (excerpts) From https://www.bbg.org/about/history. Accessed online on August 31, 2018. When Brooklyn Botanic Garden was founded more than a century ago, New York City area was quickly being developed into a cityscape of buildings and paved roads. Creating a public garden was one way to ensure that some green space remained. Today, the Garden has come to represent the very best in urban gardening and horticultural display. Here are some highlights of the Garden's history. 1897 New York State legislation reserves 39 acres for a botanic garden. Today, the Garden is make up of 52 acres. 1910 Garden founded with botanist Charles Stuart Gager as director. The Olmsted Brothers firm laid out the original site plan. 1911 Brooklyn Botanic Garden officially opens on May 13. Original Native Flora Garden (at the time called the Local Flora Section) laid out. BBG’s first display garden was conceived to showcase and conserve native plants. Its original form was designed by BBG’s first director, Norman Taylor, and included wildflower beds arranged systematically by plant family and evolutionary relationship. 1912 Harold Caparn appointed the Garden's landscape architect. Caparn would go on to design much of the grounds over the next three decades. 1914 Children's Garden program begins. One of the first programs of its kind, this one-acre vegetable garden offers a place where city children can grow their own food plants. 1915 Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden completed by landscape designer Takeo Shiota.

What pieces of knowledge do we treasure that come from 1000 years ago? Accounts from the end of the last millennium herald innovations like the metal plow but were imbued with folk knowledge from an era when trolls, fairies, and personifications of the elements, such as Jack Frost, were thought to play important roles in determining the course of human life. A bit broader glance at the past might unearth the mathematical work of Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci who introduced Western culture to the concept of zero, a decimal positional system of numerals far different from the Roman numerals then in use, and the beginnings of linear algebra.

  • Chicago's Botanic Garden: Translating Horticulture Into
    CHICAGO’S BOTANIC GARDEN: TRANSLATING HORTICULTURE INTO COMMUNITY ACTION A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY REBA DREY LUIKEN IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SALLY GREGORY KOHLSTEDT JANUARY 2020 © Reba Drey Luiken Acknowledgements A completed dissertation may be evidence of many things, but it certainly reflects the presence of numerous supporters. My advisor, Sally Gregory Kohlstedt, has been chief among them from the beginning of my graduate journey. She has offered ongoing encouragement, consistently high standards, and prompt responses to questions and feedback on work. Her detailed critiques have influenced all of my major writing projects and her broad experience has shaped my development as a scholar and professional. She has been always generous with her time and deep expertise. My committee members have also been enthusiastic supporters throughout my graduate school career. Susan Jones guided me in environmental history pursuits and as a teaching assistant. Juliet Burba has offered sage advice about careers in museums and outside of academia. Dominique Tobbell provided critical and detailed advice on oral history methods and insightful comments on intersections between my research and the history of medicine. Lisa Aston Philander has been an enthusiastic cheerleader and an invaluable collaborator on garden and exhibits projects. Beyond these individuals, the University of Minnesota has been an ongoing home as I have developed from an undergraduate to a doctoral student. Deena Wassenberg generously adopted my interest in science education and steered my undergraduate honors thesis when it became clear that I found people more interesting than plants by themselves.
