Kitchen gardens in the 1700s fed, healed and clothed Early American families. The 18th century "huswife" skill set included "physicke, cookery, distillation, perfumery, the making of wool, hemp, flax, dayries, brewing, baking" and of course - gardening. Growing plants both Native American and from their homelands, these women turned their soup pots into the "melting pot" that is America and exemplified all the best qualities of plants, women and patriots.

Programs underwritten in part by the Glen Rock Chamber of Commerce Grant.
