018 - Old-time Flower Gardens

In Home Life in Colonial Days, we delve into the challenging realities faced by the first settlers upon their arrival in America. Confronted with vast, magnificent forests yet lacking the tools for construction, these early colonists found themselves in an ironic predicament. Abundant natural resources like clay, limestone, and granite surrounded them, but without sawmills or the means to craft bricks, they struggled to create adequate shelter. With desperation driving them, some turned to ancient forms of habitation, even becoming cave-dwellers in states like Pennsylvania and New York. This exploration of early colonial life highlights the resilience and ingenuity of those who started from nothing, navigating the harsh realities of a new world. Join Susan Morin as she takes you back to a time of great challenge and pioneering spirit.
