Arboretum and botanical gardens of Texas
Bartram's Garden
John Bartram, America’s first botanist, was endlessly curious about the natural world. He wanted to learn everything about the world around him. He truly believed that all living things were beautiful in their own right. His explorations of wild American landscapes were deeply influential to Europeans who were hungry for any and all information about the New World.
