About

Atomic Gardening is devoted to preserving the history, memory, and learnings of the midcentury atomic gardens. Please add to it by leaving your own memory or additional knowledge, or volunteering to assist via the contact page.

Atomic Gardening is a project of Paige Johnson, a nanoscientist (www.ten-ninetech.com) who is also a garden historian. You can see more of her writing about landscapes at gardenhistorygirl.com and at the world's most widely viewed site for playground design: play-scapes.com
