Author Information

Elizabeth Adelman gardened on weekends and summer evenings for many years while pursuing a career in law. Twenty-five years ago, she gave in and started Heritage Flower Farm, an award-winning nursery whose perennial flowers are featured in botanic gardens, historic sites, and backyard gardens around the country. About a decade ago, a friend introduced her to the plants collected on the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and she was hooked. She lives outside Milwaukee.
