Help Solve a Garden Mystery - The Smithsonian’s Archives of American Gardens
May 04, 2018
Do you love gardens and the thrill of the hunt? The Garden Club of America Collection at the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Gardens has images of numerous gardens across the United States that need a bit of sleuthing to be positively identified. Some images belonged to slide lectures that were dismantled over time or simply never were labelled. Regardless of how it happened, they are a mystery!
If any of these gardens look familiar to you, let us know by contacting the Smithsonian Archives of American Gardens at aag@si.edu.
