520 8  Exploration of the New World offered far reaching 
       possibilities for the acquisition of new plants and for 
       trees, but the impact that the introduction of plants from
       the New World had, and still has, on the English garden is
       frequently forgotten. Gardens and landscapes were 
       transformed by an influx of American roots and through the
       past three centuries gardens have displayed important 
       links with the United States of America. The ancestral 
       homes of George Washington, the residence of the American 
       Ambassador in London, the American Museum in Britain and 
       Bletchley Park are of cultural and political importance. 
       Many Dollar Princesses - American heiresses - took an 
       active part in the aristocratic role of garden creation 
       and ex-patriots too, continue to leave a legacy of 
       beautiful gardens. Finally, the book includes memorial 
       gardens of honoured Americans: Princess Pocahontas; 
       Mohamet Weyonoman; John F. Kennedy; the Magna Carta 
       Memorial built by the American Bar Association, and at 
       Cambridge, the American Military Cemetery, dedicated to 
       the American Armed Services. 'The American spirit in the 
       English garden' is unique in bringing together the story 
       of the first influx of American plant species and an 
       important collection of gardens influenced and/or created 
       by Americans, reflecting social history and often 
       overlooked links between Britain and the United States of 
       America.
