More details
Knowledge transfer was crucial in early America as colonists developed their understanding of native plants using information shared by Indigenous peoples
John Bartram’s work and legacy was very likely shaped by his encounters with Indigenous peoples and traders who provided insight on the appearance and functions of native American plants, many of which are growing in Bartram's Garden.
