"The First Fifty Years of the Arnold Arboretum" chronicles the formative years of one of the world's leading centers for the study of plants. Founded in 1872 as part of Harvard University, the Arnold Arboretum quickly became a vital resource for botanical research, horticultural innovation, and public education. This volume, written by Charles Sprague Sargent, the Arboretum's first director, provides an in-depth look at the institution's early history, detailing its establishment, development, and contributions to the field of botany.
Sargent meticulously documents the Arboretum's expeditions, plant acquisitions, and the growth of its living collections. He highlights the challenges and triumphs of creating a world-class botanical garden in the heart of Boston. This historical account is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of botany, horticulture, and the development of American scientific institutions. It offers valuable insights into the vision and dedication that shaped the Arnold Arboretum into the renowned institution it is today.
