Featured historical Medicinal Plants, of mixed indigenous and colonial use, were featured in Bartram’s Appendix to Thomas Short's Medicina Britanica, 1751. Thanks to research by curator Joel Fry and horticultural work by gardener Mandy Katz, specimens are actively cultivated throughout Bartram’s Garden today. Many thanks to Mandy Katz as well as Mary Strand for collaboration on this project. Illustrations by Serena Niesley.
