THE GARDENS OF HALLOCKVILLE
Join Us!
Since 1995 the Hallockville Gardeners have restored and maintained historic gardens originally planted by the Hallock family in the late 1700’s.
Join us as we care for a variety of historic gardens. Connect with history and delve deep into historic roots. Learn how to work with varieties of plant materials used a century ago.
Heritage
This garden re-creates the “kitchen garden” maintained by the Hallocks from 1765-1979. These gardens typically had a variety of vegetables, greens and herbs all within steps of the center of the household– the kitchen. Heirloom varieties are featured here.
Heirloom
Just outside the Homestead, the heirloom perennial beds feature a variety of historic flowering plants and ornamental varieties typical of the 18th-19th century. These gardens offer opportunities to learn about rare varieties grown a century ago!
Community
In addition, each season, individual plots in the organic community garden are rented to gardeners who tend and maintain a variety of vegetables, plants and flowers of their own. The garden serves as an educational resource for adult and youth programs.
