"If we cannot name and recognize plants, how can we value them and realize how essential they are to our environment and our well-being as humans?" --from the Introduction

In 2012 a committee of experts chose the ten plants that most changed Minnesota from nearly five hundred citizen nominations, hosted by the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. The idea that plants, as few as ten, could shape a state and how it developed economically, culturally, and historically, is at the core of the Ten Plants that Changed Minnesota project, which also includes a companion website and a popular freshman seminar at the University of Minnesota. With careful review by more than thirty experts and scientists and with research drawn from newspaper and journal reports, historical photos, diaries, and interviews, Mary Hockenberry Meyer and Susan Davis Price highlight the importance of the selected plants and their impact--both positive and negative--in the development and future of our state. The plants are the apple, alfalfa, the American elm, corn, lawn or turfgrass, purple loosestrife, soybeans, wheat, wild rice, and white pine.

Meyer, Mary Hockenberry: - Mary Hockenberry Meyer is a professor of horticultural science at the University of Minnesota and author of many popular and scholarly articles on plants.

Price, Susan Davis: - Susan Davis Price is a former University of St Thomas librarian, and the author of four books. She is a regular contributor to the Northern Gardener and Heirloom Gardener magazines and wrote the content for the 10 Plants website. Price's first book, Minnesota Gardens, an Illustrated History, won the Minnesota Book Award and the Quill and Trowel Award from the Garden Writers Association of America. Her second book, Growing Home, Stories of Ethnic Gardening, received the American Horticultural Society's Book Award, as one of four best gardening/ horticultural books in the U.S. in 2001. Her most recent books are about the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and the Horticultural Research Center--A Northern Treasure, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and Horticultural Research Center and Seasons, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.
