Liberty Hyde Bailey

Late 19th - Mid 20th century

Liberty Hyde Bailey (1858-1954) was an American horticulturist, botanist, and reformer who served as Dean of the College of Agriculture at Cornell University. He revolutionized horticultural taxonomy, founded the Bailey Hortorium, and championed the Country Life Movement, advocating for rural communities and a holistic, philosophical approach to agriculture. His work bridged scientific rigor with a deep, almost spiritual reverence for nature and the farmer's relationship to the land.
