Now on display in the Visitor Center at the entrance to Old Sturbridge Village, this exhibit entitled Taking Root: The Growing Business of Gardening in Pots in the 1800’s, invites exploration of the art and business of gardening in flowerpots in 19th-century New England. The thriving world of gardening in pots in early New England is shown through a series of vibrant and colorful vignettes. The depictions range from the rough industriousness of a potter’s shop to the refined elegance of a Victorian parlor, and to all of the worlds in between.
