In 1870, Sarah Plummer left the East Coast for health reasons and moved to Santa Barbara. Soon after, she founded the town’s first library and taught herself botany. Ten years later she married botanist John Gillemon, with whom she documented hundreds of new plant species in the Southwest. Although she was a botanical expert, lecturer, and artist (including painting the plants she discovered with her husband), her contributions to the field are rarely recognized. Rarely. Instead, she is simply recognized as “JG Lemon and Wife”.
The Forgotten Botanist shines a spotlight on the extraordinary life of Sarah Plummer-Lemon, making her work, travels, and ambitions available to all of us. Her courage and resilience to leave behind everything she knew to become is nothing short of inspiring.
