I am reading a book called Founding Gardeners, and I am delighted to know that Washington kept himself sane even as 32,000 British troops arrived in New York, and through 8 years of grueling war, by dreaming of trees and shrubbery! When he was finally able to go home, the first thing he did was an act of defiance: he planted only natives on his mile long drive.
He was in a hurry, and probably still mad; he had to replant most of them. #permaculture
