We’re celebrating Women’s History Month! This week we honor the women who have paved the way in botany and public horticulture throughout our history. From the traditional ecological knowledge Indigenous women have cultivated and preserved for generations, to the historical role garden clubs have played in women’s civil rights, to the essential contributions of Black women in American botany and conservation — women have played an essential role in shaping horticulture. This article from the National Wildlife Foundation walks you through this history and introduces you to these women pioneers.
