designing an heirloom garden

hillivie
18 years ago

Any suggestions for resources to help with designing an heirloom garden? The location is East Tennessee, zone 6, the period is about 1820, and I would be interested in trying a very easy to grow herb garden, maybe some veggies, and in another garden for the same house, some authentic perennials. Many thanks for any assistance.

    One nice web site to look at is the one for Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello.

    Here is a link that might be useful: Monticello
