Garden Shack

Farm and Greenhouse Markets - Southeast Edition 

The Garden Shack has grown from its beginning in 1974 as a farm raising cows, pigs and corn. In 1980 the family added vegetables, fruits and melons they grew on their farm. The family sold its produce in Cincinnati. They used damaged crops to feed their animals and used the fertilizer the animals produced to fertilize the fields. By 1895 they began growing flowers in 1905 and opened their Batesville location in 1989. They opened a new location in 2006 in Milford, fifteen minutes from downtown Cincinnati. The Garden Shack sells vegetable transplants, bedding plants, perennial flowers, vegetables, pumpkins and fall mums at their retail stores and at various farmers markets around the area.

Sample Chapter - A History of the United States Constitution - Richard Henry Lee's Resolution

A History of the United States Constitution

June 7, 1776 - Declaration of Independence - Richard Henry Lee's Resolution
On June 7, 1776 Richard Henry Lee introduced the resolution that helped lead to the Declaration of Independence almost a month later.
Richard Henry Lee (January 20, 1732 – June 19, 1794)
The son of Colonel Thomas and Hannah Harrison Ludwell Lee, Richard was native to Westmoreland County, Virginia. The Lee family had served as military officers and diplomats which provided the growing boy with a template for his later political life. During his early years he received his education from a tutor at the family home at Stratford, Virginia in Stratford Hall. Lee voyaged to England in 1748 to attend the Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, in Yorkshire, England. After finishing school, he toured Europe and then returned to Virginia in 1753 to help his brothers settle his parents', who had died in 1750, estate.
Political Career
He received appointment as a justice of the peace in 1757 and gained election to the Virginia House of Burgesses the next year. At his legislature he met Patrick Henry. During the turbulent years after the Stamp Act in 1765, he became an early supporter of independence for the colonies. He was one of the originators of the Committees of Correspondence in Virginia and receives credit for writing the Westmoreland Resolution in 1766. He attended the First Continental Congress and later the Second Continental Congress. On June 7, 1776 he introduced the Resolution that helped lead to the Declaration of Independence less than a month later.
Text of the Resolution:
That these United Colonies are, and of right out to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; that measures should be immediately taken for procuring the assistance of foreign powers, and a Confederation be formed to bind the colonies more closely together
