Most of us think of George Washington as the Revolutionary War General and first U.S. President. But what many don't know is that he also loved nature, farming and gardening. In this episode we meet Dean Norton, head horticulturalist at Mount Vernon. Listen as Norton guides us back in time to Washington's home and describes the groundbreaking array of vegetable and pleasure gardens Washington created to serve both practical and decorative functions around the historic grounds.
