Over a professional life spanning seven decades, Edward Steichen (1879–1973) established
himself as one of the most important figures in the history of photography. What is less known is
that for much of that time, Steichen devoted himself to the nurturing of plants and gardens, an
activity that sustained him and through which he developed ardently held beliefs regarding the
relationship of art, nature, and creativity.
