Neumann University to Present John Bartram

Brown will disclose the life and times of John Bartram, America’s first botanist, committed traveler, collector, and father of the nursery industry. Dressed as Bartram, Brown will welcome attendees with the horticultural history of America as it began in Philadelphia and Penn’s Woods.
