Hardcover. In 1728 when he was 29 years old, John Bartram (16991777), a third generation Pennsylvania Quaker, bought a 102-acre site in the Philadelphia environs and started developing it into an arboretum that became known as Bartram's Garden. He began sending seeds and plants to Peter Collinson, a London merchant, and many others after that, in wooden boxes he designed for the trans-Atlantic voyages. When a severe storm felled trees in the historic Garden in 2010, The Center for Art in Wood in Philadelphia challenged artists across the world to create works from the wood that expressed the botanist's voice and dedication. Forty artists responded with diverse projects that keep Bartram's spirit alive and celebrate nature, science, and design. 248 colour photos After the June 24, 2010 storm, The Center for Art in Wood joined with Bartram's Garden, today a flourishing historical monument, to learn about John Bartram and his mission and offer artisans the opportunity to be inspired by his work and his methods. The artists created diverse works that express Bartram's voice and his dedication. Essayists put the works in context.-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
