Jefferson was a pioneer in supporting farmers’ markets and fresh vegetable cookery and cuisine at Monticello. Restored in 1984, the gardens at Monticello continue to inspire the farm-to-table movement today.
Peter Hatch is a professional gardener and historian with experience in the restoration, care, and interpretation of historic landscapes. As Director of Gardens and Grounds at Monticello for 35 years, Hatch has lectured on Monticello and the history of garden plants across the country. He also regularly consults on the installation and maintenance of both public gardens and private estate landscapes.
All library programs are free and open to the public. Patrons do not need to pre-register to attend this lecture. For more information, please call the library at 410-822-1626, or visit www.tcfl.org.
