Andrea Wulf

Review Founding Gardeners: Dallas Morning News

"Andrea Wulf’s beguiling and eloquently written Founding Gardeners is one of those rare books that, by focusing on a single angle of vision, brings to life a whole era and cast of characters … Wulf draws parallels throughout this book that are illuminating, fresh, and immediate … Founding Gardeners is an excellent short history of the early federalist years — portraying this one aspect of these men and their times so vividly and recognizably, that it conjures up the rest", Dallas Morning News

Reviews Founding Gardeners: San Francisco Chronicle

"Andrea Wulf's fine story of how gardening and farming shaped the thinking of Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and James Madison … One of Wulf's most luxurious and sharp-witted chapters concerns the matter that would fertilize a new nation: 'Mundane as it seems,' she writes, 'manure was of the greatest concern to all four of them."

Reviews Founding Gardeners: The Plain Dealer, Ohio

“Eloquently written and very beguiling "Founding Gardeners”… Anyone who thinks gardening has zilch to do with politics should read this book … [Wulf] is a writer of considerable grace and breadth of vision, and "Founding Gardeners" is an excellent portrait of the early years of the federal republic. It will delight the general reader, not just the garden buff. But for the garden enthusiast, this is a book of special interest, reminding us that a garden has a purpose, a character, a soul -- that it's an expression of our relationship not just to the soil, but to a vision of the world.”, The Plain Dealer, Ohio
