Would like to document that this book tells the readers the history/changes of the flower (garden) as our country evolved from its foundation. A few comment was made: about the roof garden, the early conservatories, location of the White House, contributions from the Teddy Roosevelt Presidency, and the land-grant that started the Master Gardeners program. Ron brought up the name Mr. Burns, which was used by George Washington in the 1790s, Ron thought it could relate to Mr. Burns on the Simpsons .
