“Some Exceedingly Interesting Things”: The Many Gardens of David Douglas

When Scottish naturalist David Douglas made the first of a series of trips up the Columbia River in 1825, he thought he was collecting promising seeds for British gardens back home. But as the scope of his explorations grew, it seemed as if every flower, shrub, and tree he touched took on a life of its own. This slide presentation will spin through a few of the garden stories that Douglas unleashed, often with no idea of what he was getting into.
