John Linstrom is Postdoctoral Fellow in Climate and Inequality at the Climate Museum, and coedited The Liberty Hyde Bailey Gardener's Companion. Liberty Hyde Bailey was Dean of the College of Agriculture at Cornell University and Chair of the Commission on Country Life under President Theodore Roosevelt. A pioneer in modern horticulture and environmental philosophy, he was the author of more than seventy books. We spoke to John about how Liberty Hyde Bailey’s book became the bible of the nature-study movement; how his ideas completely transformed education around the country; and how we can use his inspiring ideas today to get off of our screens, go outdoors and get more in touch with nature.
