Grandma's Gardens

Product Information

It’s a tribute to Hillary’s mom, Chelsea’s grandma, and this shared intergenerational, matrilineal practice. In this inspiring and heart warming mother-daughter story, Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton team up to show readers how sharing the things we love with the people we love can create powerful, everlasting bonds between generations. A native of Illinois, Hillary Rodham attracted national attention in 1969 when she was chosen by her peers to be the first student commencement speaker at Wellesley College. I loved that her grandma visited many countries and she would take pictures of gardens she would encounter throughout her travels.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. In Arkansas and Washington, DC, we spent lots of time at the zoo, and my grandmother always pointed out the trees and plants the animals were sitting under, swinging on or eating. I like that each page spread, while telling the story, has the message in italics about what gardening can do that's important (food, beauty, connectedness) through the story of Hillary's mother who taught her and then Chelsea and Hillary's now teaching her granddaughter's through the natural beauty and caretaking of a garden. In their impoverished condition, many Grandmas had to scrape out a meagre living from patches of land around their houses to feed their grandchildren whose parents had died.

Hillary Rodham Clinton co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families in 1977, and became the first female chair of the Legal Services Corporation in 1978. S. history to win a major party's presidential nomination, and the first woman to win the popular vote in a presidential race - despite losing the election. She taught Chelsea about gardening and how different gardens are homes for animals, insects and how you can grow your own food.

This infusion brimming full of sweet succulent strawberries and plump juicy blackberries gives you all of the aromatic treasures from these delicious berries brought together in this gorgeous fruit tea blend. It's a nice sentiment, but the book is literally just any memories of gardens that Hillary and Chelsea Clinton have.Ending with Hilary becoming the grandmother, Hilary and Chelsea share how gardens have become part of the current multi-generational family's life and what time in gardens means to them.

I hope she is able to relax and truly enjoy her grandchildren and gardens, but I find myself concerned for Grandma Hillary.It all began with Jackie Atim, a young graduate agronomist, who shared the idea of this project with a group of widowed Grandmas near Luwero, Uganda.

Cowritten by Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton, this book walks through memories of Chelsea’s experience with her Grandma Dorothy from the time she was a young child until her grandma was in her 90s.On some pages, I could easily identify the plant - the azaleas, for example, were definitely azaleas (but no one prunes azaleas while they are blooming, so that bugged me, too). Now there is another generation and Chelsea's children learn the same lessons their mother and grandmother learned. Many started out as part of our personal collections that we ran out of space for or acquired duplicates of. Hillary Rodham Clinton became the first woman in US history to become the presidential nominee of a major political party in 2016.
