Shaker herb garden

veilchen
19 years ago

As you may have seen in my previous post, the museum director asked if I could help design a Shaker herb garden on the grounds to coincide with a Shaker exhibit they'll be having in mid-August.

Luckily the location is sunny. I do need to figure out where/how to site it though. I can research the traditional varieties, probably get some advice by contacting Sabbathday or that one in NH, but am wondering about the general layout. As in, did/do the Shakers grow herbs in a raised bed setting, square plot design, rows, etc.?

Would welcome all your advice!
