To quote celebrated horticulturist, designer, and philanthropist Bunny Mellon, "Gardening is a way of thinking." This year's series features three distinctive thought leaders whose passion for the horticultural world shines through in their work-from the development of a study center that honors Ms. Mellon's legacy, to the creation of a botanical oasis and mail-order nursery of rare plants in North Carolina, to the captivating art of storytelling that reveals the transformative power of trees and the communities built around them.
