Peter Hatch knows good dirt when he sees it.
Hatch recently retired after 34 years as director of gardens and grounds at Monticello, the historic home of Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence and America’s third president. Hatch led the interpretation, restoration, maintenance and conservation of what he calls Jefferson’s crowning achievement, a 1,000-foot-long vegetable garden carved by slaves out of a hillside on Jefferson’s beloved estate overlooking Charlottesville, Va.
