This past spring, the Smithsonian invited me to speak to their "Let's Talk Gardens" webinar guests about Virginia's garden club women and the ways they reshaped the state. My pleasure! The interview + presentation was loaded up in the library recently. Here's my talk, which included axe-swingin' socialites, NAACP leaders with green thumbs, and club women who took on city hall. You can watch it here. Thanks to Cindy Brown for the invitation! And be sure to check out the amazing resources at the Smithsonian Gardens for researchers, visitors, and gawkers.
