For today's , a window in the seed house of John Bartram, the pioneering American botanist (1699-1777) whom Linnaeus called "the greatest natural botanist in the world." The building (in what is now part of Philadelphia) was constructed out of a local stone called Wissahickon schist. Below the window are some of the artistic botanic ornaments that Bartram carved into the stone.

@lizcovart and her team have created another well-produced series. The first episode covers the significance of Native American music traditions, beginning before European colonization. This is the podcast that inspired my collaborative book club. I hope it will inspire you too. benfranklinsworld.com/episode-.
