Archaeologists in Virginia are uncovering an ornamental garden from the 1700s where a wealthy politician and enslaved gardeners grew exotic plants from around the world.

The garden in Williamsburg belonged to tobacco grower John Custis IV, who also served in the colonial legislature. His garden has long intrigued historians.
