Abstract
John Bartram (1699-1777) was one of colonial America's foremost botanists, horticulturist and plant explorers. Collecting plants throughout Eastern North America, he was responsible for the introduction of between 150 and 200 new American species to England. In his garden on the Schuylkill River, Bartram grew the plants he collected in the wild as well as those sent to him from Europe utilizing the latest horticultural techniques of his time. Today his house and garden have been preserved and are now operated as part of Fairmount Park system in conjunction with the John Bartram Association.
