"Peter Hatch is the ultimate authority on America's ultimate vegetable garden. Learn all about the genius of the place. Hatch's fascinating account will enrich your garden and your life."-Amy P. Goldman, Chair of the Board, Seed Savers Exchange, "Peter Hatch's vibrant and enthusiastic passion for preserving Thomas Jefferson's farming legacy at Monticello reminds us all of the time-tested continuity and historical root of this kind of agriculture."-Alice Waters, "Peter Hatch brings the horticultural legacy of Thomas Jefferson to life. A Rich Spot of Earth affords us a clear and compelling view into the revolutionary thinking of Jefferson, illuminating for the reader his approach to food, diversity, democracy, and freedom making the genius of Jefferson, perhaps, as relevant today as at any other time in American history."-P. Allen Smith, author of The Garden Home Series, "The book is absolutely beautiful and tells a fascinating story. It provides pure pleasure for those interested in tasty food lavishly presented. And it opens up a new and interesting way of thinking about Jefferson, the Founding Father who remains most relevant and malleable for Americans."-Erik Loomis, Lawyers, Guns, and Money Blog, "Elegantly produced and artfully augmented by stunning, evocative photographs of the estate and the bounty it produces, Hatch's homage establishes Jefferson as the clear forefather of modern organic and sustainable garden movements."-Carol Haggas, Booklist, "Beautifully illustrated, authoritative. . . . It is wonderful to find out that the man who contributed so much to the republic in which we live also set his contemporaries-and posterity-such a salutary example in other ways as well."-Martin Rubin, Washington Times, "Digging deep into our long, illustrious tradition of presidential dirt. . . . A Rich Spot of Earth lovingly describes the 1000-foot terraced vegetable garden that was restored to its 1812 appearance under the author's able direction."-Dominique Browning, New York Times Book Review, "Breathtaking. The photos are beautiful, the research is impeccable, and the story is captivating. From a historian's perspective, Hatch provides a new depth to the understanding of Jefferson's character. From a gardener's perspective, the book serves as an inspiration to grow and treasure heirlooms."- Heirloom Adventures Blog, "Elegantly produced and artfully augmented by stunning, evocative photographs of the estate and the bounty it produces, Hatch's homage establishes Jefferson as the clear forefather of modern organic and sustainable garden movements."-Carol Haggas, Booklist, S tarred Review, " A Rich Spot of Earth: Thomas Jefferson's Revolutionary Garden at Monticello presents a rarely seen side of the man. Here is Jefferson with mud-splattered boots laying out garden beds and carefully setting seeds with dirty hands: a Founding Father not on a lofty pedestal, but joyfully competing with neighbors in an annual contest to see who could bring the first spring peas to table."-David Maurer, Richmond Times-Dispatch, "Elegantly produced and artfully augmented by stunning, evocative photographs of the estate and the bounty it produces, Hatch's homage establishes Jefferson as the clear forefather of modern organic and sustainable garden movements."-Carol Haggas, Booklist, Starred Review, "Elegantly produced and artfully augmented by stunning, evocative photographs of the estate and the bounty it produces, Hatch's homage establishes Jefferson as the clear forefather of modern organic and sustainable garden movements."-Carol Haggas, Booklist, s tarred review, "...there is much interesting archive material, and pleasing vegetable still-lifes composed with the care of a Dutch master."-Ambra Edwards, Gardens Illustrated, "In this fascinating book, Peter Hatch wonderfully weaves together his deep understanding of Monticello's soil with his scholarly knowledge of Jefferson's legacy as a gardener."-Andrea Wulf, author of Founding Gardeners, "In this fascinating book, Peter Hatch wonderfully weaves together his deep understanding of Monticello's soil with his scholarly knowledge of Jefferson's legacy as a gardener."-Andrea Wulf, author ofFounding Gardeners, "[T]he images make the book thoroughly enjoyable, and, through their sheer number and quality, provide us with an insight into the sublime character, and material ordering, of natural productions so important to historical actors of this period."-Simon Thode, Archives of Natural History
