For over 50 years, Jefferson kept a record of his garden at Monticello, listing the dates when seeds were planted, when leaves appeared, and when their fruits came "to table" as well as his annual "objects for the garden." Peggy Cornett, Monticello's Curator of Plants, and Monticello guide Bill Bergen introduce this wonderful resource, which turned 250 on March 30, 2016.
