GARDENS
Strawbery Banke Museum interprets nearly four centuries of historical gardens, some on their original plots, and is recognized as one of just four sites in the world teaching about change over time in the landscape.
Each garden is typical of a historic era, exhibiting plants and planting techniques of their times:
- A colonial kitchen garden with raised beds
- A highly romantic Victorian garden and landscape
- A Colonial Revival garden with a circular grove of native hemlocks
- A Ukrainian immigrant’s vegetable garden
- A 1943 Victory Garden
- Heritage breeds of chickens
- Several heirloom apple orchards
