Meet Margaret Crawford, the ultimate Colorado pioneer. In 1873, this young woman heads west and thinks, "You know what this grueling wagon journey needs? ROSES!" She digs up her yellow rosebuds and plants them along her route through the Rockies—and plot twist, they're still blooming today, like the most extra garden party ever thrown.
We're basically obsessed with Margaret's "make everything prettier" philosophy and her genius for bringing joy into unexpected places. While everyone else was digging for gold, she was planting it.
