Botanical History On This Day
1849 Frances Hodgson Burnett, beloved author of *The Secret Garden*, was born. Her life—marked by loss, violets, and enduring faith in the restorative power of gardens—reminds us that “the whole world is a garden.”
1859 Charles Darwin’s *On the Origin of Species* was published, forever transforming our understanding of nature’s design and the delicate web of life that connects us all.
1966 The Arlington Heights Garden Club shared their weekly tips, from reviving drooping roses to praising the lively ecosystem beneath our feet — wisdom that predates modern soil biology by decades.
