in the garden. mr. jefferson: how many plants do i have in the garden? i would reckon to say if you're speaking of flowers, upwards of 330 varieties. of vegetables, much near the same. the vegetables, i cultivate 1000 foot of garden divided into 24 sections in which i cultivate various vegetables, so to state them precisely, i daresay we would be here at the same spot through next week. next question. stephen: with such extensive flower and vegetable gardens, who maintains and creates the gardens here? mr. jefferson: you asked me who maintains all of this beauty that surrounds us. i know distinctly and properly. my people, the enslaved. all of what you see could not have been accomplished without their attentions, without their aid, without their artistry. i may have come up with some ideas, and many of them, of course, came to mind when i was in france and went through england and visited gardens, but no, to be able to plant them and manifest them has been accomplished by such as gardner and john,

gardener. until the next time we meet, perhaps next time at this time, i remain your humble and obedient service, thomas jefferson. godspeed.
