The Kitchen Garden represents the type of garden that might have been found outside of a rural home in Massachusetts between the 1600s and 1800s. Although some crops would have been grown in larger fields, most rural homes would have had a kitchen garden close to the house. These gardens would have consisted of square or rectangular raised beds, surrounded by saplings, planks or rocks. In addition to vegetables grown for food, beds would have contained plants grown for medicines and dyes. Flowers, herbs and vegetables would have been planted together in the same beds. In our kitchen garden, we plant some of these traditionally grown plants alongside vegetables and herbs used in kitchens in Massachusetts today.
