Roots of Flower City by Camden Burd Online
Join us on Zoom for a talk with Camden Burd, author of The Roots of Flower City. He explores the economic and ecological significance of Rochester plant nurserymen over the course of the nineteenth century in The Roots of Flower City. As the first boomtown in the United States, Rochester was an embodiment of nineteenth-century market economies and social reform movements. Connected to the eastern seaboard by the Erie Canal, the city's unique economic, cultural, and environmental conditions fostered and sustained a vast and influential commercial plant nursery industry that attracted the nation's most prominent horticulturists and nurserymen. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
Hosted by our friends at the Pittsford Community Library.
