| Summary: | The restored gardens of Monticello fulfill multiple roles, including the enhancement of the architectural and historical aspects of Thomas Jefferson's estate, a botanical garden, a site for historic plant preservation and a study in historic garden restoration. The gardens act as a vehicle for appreciation and education of not only the historical horticultural garden aspects, but also as a vehicle for understanding Thomas Jefferson, as a person. During the summer of 2001, I worked as an intern member of Monticello's Gardens and Grounds Department. The internship focused on the project of reestablishing a cutting flower and seed production garden. The internship also included horticultural maintenance activities within the various public gardens and grounds. |
