Muriel Howorth, a British enthusiast, founded the Atomic Gardening Association in 1959, recruiting hundreds of members who experimented with irradiated seeds in the hope of growing bigger, better plants. The story has resurfaced as a curiosity from the atomic age, when peaceful uses of nuclear technology captured the public imagination.
Why now: Interest in quirky atomic-age history and early citizen science is being renewed by coverage of Howorth's movement.
