Monticello talks TJ, Peas & School Gardens 
 
 
Did you know Thomas Jefferson ordered "Pea Green" wallpaper from France? Talk about an obsession! 
 
Monticello's Curator of Gardens wrote this article celebrating the book "First Peas to the Table" by Susan Grigsby, our 2016 Book of the Year! The article includes information on Thomas Jefferson's love of peas, school garden ideas, free lesson plans, a historical pea recipe, a ton of resources for teachers and students, fun pea facts and MORE! A great read for teachers, students, parents, and volunteers!
