I was recently reading a book on gardening (another one of my passions) when I came across some information on Lawrence Johnston, famous gardener who created Hicote in England. Many plants are now named after him or his garden. In this book it mentions that he lived with his mother Gertrude Winthrop, who's maiden name is Cleveland and that she is possibly related to President Grover Cleveland. Being as I am also related to the President and an avid gardener, this has peaked my interest. Does anyone have any info to support this? I only know that Johnston was born in 1871 in Paris and died April 27, 1958.
