November 9, 2019 by Nicole Crabbe

See Exhibit “The Botanizers of Salem, 1785-1835” through November 30

The four panel exhibit is accompanied by a display case filled with Archives original documents from the period.

The four-panel traveling exhibit “The Botanizers of Salem, 1785-1835” is sponsored by the Garden Club Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County and the Old Salem Garden Club.  It’s the story of six Moravians, five men and one woman, whose avid plant-collecting passions led to their being a part of America’s first national plant reference collection in Philadelphia.  The exhibit sketches their stories and their enduring local legacy.
