Oxalis acetosella, L. White wood-sorrel. Our History: Huguenots founded area’s horticulture industry - QNS.com. By Joan Brown Wettingfeld A few years ago on a visit to Dublin I passed a small Huguenot cemetery nestled beside a row of restored Georgian houses near St.
Stephen’s Green in the heart of that city. It brought to mind the story of the emigration of French Huguenots to this country and their role in our own local history. In 1660, when the Dutch were attempting to stamp out Quakerism here, a number of French Huguenots settled in Flushing and introduced the industry of horticulture for which this area became famous. “Huguenot” is a term attributed to French Calvinists or Protestants of the 16th and 17th centuries. “Gardener’s Calendar” by Martha Logan – Special Collections. “Gardener’s Calendar” by Martha Logan Martha Daniell Logan (1702-1779) was the first person to publish a gardening calendar in colonial America.
The daughter of Landgrave and Deputy Governor Robert Daniell and his wife Martha, Martha Daniell Logan maintained a well-known garden on the “Green, near Trott’s Point” in Charles Town. Logan’s ” Gardener’s Calendar” or “Directions for managing a kitchen garden every month of the year done by a lady” was first published in the 1752 South Carolina Almanac.

By 1785, Squibb had leased a large plot of ground on Meeting Street near Rumney Bridge and was operating a nursery. Advertisements for his nursery appeared regularly in the South Carolina Gazette. In 1787, Squibb published The Gardener’s Calendar which followed a format commonly found in 18th century British and French gardening texts and was written to be read chronologically by month serving as a planting guide for gardeners in the South. The Gardener’s Calendar tells the reader in detail not only what to plant each month of the year, but how to cultivate properly for the best possible results.
