    #December 2, 1707
    #OTD Johann Hecker, #German #Theologian & #Educator is born.

    Johann installed #Gardens at his #Schools to teach hands-on #Botany.

    Johann taught the #Cultivation of the #Mulberry #Tree.

    This was a #Strategic move on his part since the production of #Silk & the care of #Silkworms found #Favor with the #King of #Prussia, #Frederick the #Great.

    Thanks to Johann, both #Teachers & #Students tended the large #Mulberry #Plantation & learned the culture of silk & #Mulberries.
