Praise for Grandma's Gardens: "A deeply affectionate tribute to the bounty of nature and the love of gardening.

Three generations of women work in gardens together and form a special bond—gardens become something they share with each other whether they’re together or apart. I like that each page spread, while telling the story, has the message in italics about what gardening can do that's important (food, beauty, connectedness) through the story of Hillary's mother who taught her and then Chelsea and Hillary's now teaching her granddaughter's through the natural beauty and caretaking of a garden. Starting with Chelsea as a young girl we watch the family as she grows into a woman with children of her own, we see how their relationships grew and how the gardens around them informed their lives.

She taught Chelsea about gardening and how different gardens are homes for animals, insects and how you can grow your own food. We follow Grandma Dorothy as she shares her love of gardens with her daughter Hillary, and her granddaughter Chelsea. Socio-economic pressures caused a generational gap that left many households stricken with poverty and unable to help themselves to provide regular income.

Today, she is Vice Chair of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation where she helps lead the work of the Foundation across its various initiatives, with a particular focus on work related to health, women and girls, creating service opportunities, and empowering the next generation of leaders.
