Botanist horticulturist author
Thomas Meehan was born on March 21, 1826 in England. He was the son of Edward and Sarah (Denham) Meehan. He spent his boyhood on the Isle of Wight and learned gardening from his father, who was an expert gardener.
Meehan made experiments on his own initiative and while still young was elected to membership in the Royal Wernerian Society of Edinburgh. After several employments as gardener and nurseryman, including two years at Kew Gardens, he emigrated to America in 1848 and was hired by Robert Buist of Philadelphia. He was in Buist's employ for about a year, then he was made superintendent of Bartram's Garden, at that time owned by Andrew M. Eastwick. In 1852 he took charge of the grounds and conservatories of Caleb Cope, near Holmesburg, Pennsylvania. Here he gave special attention to raising the Victoria Regia from seed which Cope had received from Kew Gardens, and he succeeded in producing blossoms. While with Eastwick, he had made a catalog of the trees growing in Bartram's Garden. He was persuaded by William Darlington to enlarge the scope of the work and in 1853 published The American Handbook of Ornamental Trees. At about the same time he established his own nurseries in Upper Germantown which grew to large proportions and were successful as a business venture. From 1859 to December 1887 Meehan was editor of the Gardner's Monthly. For many years he was agricultural editor of Forney's Weekly Press and at one time or another, he was editor or contributor to various magazines and papers. After his election in 1860 to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia he took great interest in its herbarium and spent much time in studying its dried plants from various parts of the world. In 1868 he was made a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (fellow, 1875), and in 1871 he was made a member of the American Philosophical Society. In 1877 he was appointed by Governor Hartranft botanist on the state board of agriculture and held the position until his death. In 1882 Meehan was elected a member of the Philadelphia Common Council.
