A photograph and synopsis of his topic are provided below:
The early to mid-nineteenth century witnessed a number of horticultural developments focused on scientific study. Individuals were interacting through scientific recording and experimentation to improve agricultural and horticultural pursuits. Notably, the understanding of the construction, operation, and use of glass houses to produce viable crops of grapes and other fruits and vegetables grew in importance in the Delaware Valley. Several individuals within the region made significant contributions to this developing trend of glass house operation and the advancement of horticultural practice. Period garden books for the general population, garden diaries, and construction manuals for horticultural buildings indicate the depth of thought and empirical knowledge emerging from these activities. Physical examples of those efforts within the Philadelphia region have been studied through the archaeological records at Andalusia, Grumblethorpe, and the Highlands. The archaeological research at these properties will highlight glass house usage and the application of scientific principles.
