Week #3

If you were to ask me to name two things that Thomas Jefferson loved throughout his life, I would say it was gardening and cuisine.


Thomas Jefferson loved growing his own food in his garden at Monticello. I personally think his garden, at Monticello, is the biggest and nicest garden I have ever seen. Growing up I have watched my grandfather and my dad be very passionate about their gardens and I never understood why until now after learning about what Thomas Jefferson's garden meant for him. I also found that what makes this garden great, is the fact that it contained food from other countries that Thomas Jefferson would bring back with him.

Gardening and cuisine played a big role in Thomas Jefferson's life. He used his garden to grow food from other countries and enrich people in the United States of different types of cuisine. He would also use cuisine as a way to bring people together, regardless of the differences there may be between them.

Thomas Jefferson loved gardening and cuisine. He gardened for the love of it and also to expose other countries and his own country of different types of food out there. When you think back to Thomas Jefferson you can't help but think about his garden and food he share
