On the dates above, come to the Hibbs House kitchen garden between 4:30 and 6 PM. If another visitor is in the garden when you arrive, please wait outside the garden until it’s your turn.
Point out anything you’d like to take home, and our historic horticulturalists will pick it for you in exchange for a donation of your choice! While you’re here, you can ask our historic horticulturalists about the history, uses, and maintenance of the items in our garden.
Please bring your own bags, baskets, or buckets, as we will not provide any materials other than the plants.
