    When renowned British botanist John Lindley wrote Ladies’ Botany in 1834, he did so to block women from, not welcome them into, the academic world of horticulture. Learn how women figured it out anyway and managed to contribute to science, influence public taste and advance their own craft. The Victorian artists featured range from rebels to spinsters, suffragettes to missionary wives and are highlighted with strikingly beautiful imagery and humor.  Presented by Lesley Parness, Garde Historian and retired Superintendent of Horticultural Education at New Jersey’s Morris County Park Commission.  Visit Lesley's website here!

    In Honor of Women’s History Month:  AWPL Classic Monday - The Little Foxes (1941) Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines; for our vines have tender grapes. Little foxes have lived in all times, in all places. This family happened to live in the Deep South in the year 1900. William Wyler’s grim melodrama based on Lillian Hellman’s 1939 play; a chronicle of greed and hate in a ruthless family in the American South, it stars Bette Davis as Regina Giddens, clearly one of cinemas most cold, calculating and conniving woman. Not Rated: 1 hour 56 minutes.
