The Adobe Heritage Garden is a demonstration planting of typical varieties of vegetables and herbs grown in the 1850s. It is much smaller than those planted by the pioneers, but it serves as an example of

the plants they used. The gardens of the 1800s were organically grown-no pesticides or chemicals were used. Raised beds, which are once again becoming fashionable in today's gardens, were an accepted style of planting for the pioneers.
