Synopsis

John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States, led many roles in his life. He was a lawyer, diplomat, Massachusetts state senator, United States senator, Secretary of State, President of the United States, and United States congressman. He advocated for science by being a member and president of several learned societies. He fostered the growth of astronomy in the U.S. to an extent for which he could be called the father of American astronomy. Across these, as well as many other roles, he had a great, lifelong fondness for forest and fruit trees, and the many gardens he experienced and worked throughout his life. There was always some degree of occupation with trees and gardens no matter where he was in the world, or what official occupation he was accomplishing. The details behind his convictions provide greater insight into the man he was, and the future he wished to help create.
