CREATING HERITAGE GARDENS

Mariette Tulips 1942
I am working on a Heritage worksheet for tulips found in historical gardens such as George Washington's Mount Vernon and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. I hope to achieve a better understanding of the cultivars available during the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. I would eventually have it searchable by color and date of bloom, and who grew these in their gardens.
