Historic St. Louis - "Landscapes of Summertime Past"

Historic St. Louis - "Landscapes of Summertime Past"

Twenty historic sites are joining together for this event. See how our ancestors connected with the land, in both ornamental and practical ways.

At White Haven, Suzzanne Corbett with discuss kitchen gardens. Beyond a farm's row crops, kitchen gardens were intended to directly supplement the tables of those who grew them, which includes those planted behind a farm's main house to city garden patches, to the cabins of the enslaved. Based on crop information mentioned by Grant, we will look at crops that were grown to enhance the everyday diet.

We will also have a talk about wildflowers, rain garden demonstrations, and a garden activity with Missouri native plants!
