"Through tales of invention, creativity, dogged research, innovation, perspiration, and inspiration spanning from the early 1700s to the mid-1980s, Heroines of Horticulture offers readers insight into 100 influential women who met and overcame obstacles to contribute a horticulture legacy that has helped shape the land that surrounds us today in North America. Many of the featured women are unknown or forgotten figures of horticulture history, making this book an overdue opportunity to acknowledge their work and celebrate their achievements that have left a lasting legacy."--Publisher.

Autorenporträt
Stefan White began his career in the corporate world in the UK, eventually making his way to Boston in the U.S. to study Business Administration. After his American studies, he bought a van and spent five months exploring the U.S., visiting 31 states and seeing more of America than many Americans, instilling a love of the country and region. After 45 years as an entrepreneur in the giftware market in England, Stefan immersed himself in his personal passion for the topics of horticulture and history, and is now a public speaker and author on those topics, focusing specifically on the subtopic of women in American History. He has recently been elected a member of the royal historical society, and speaks to The Royal Horticulture Society in the UK.
