Travel the Lewis and Clark TrailApril EventsAs part of National Gardening Month, we look at plants discovered by Lewis & Clark, medicinal uses, and the legacy gardens along the Lewis and Clark Trail. Did you know? Among the vegetables in Thomas Jefferson's garden was the English pea, considered to be his favorite. He grew fifteen types of the English pea, and his frequent jottings on the vegetable in his Garden Book suggest that he paid particular attention to it, happily noting when "peas come to table." By staggering the planting of peas, Jefferson was able to eat them fresh from the garden from the middle of May to the middle of July. (Fun fact from Monticello)
