Program Description
Event Details
Step back into the 19th-century landscape of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, where the soil was a source of survival and the garden was a masterpiece of efficiency. This program explores the striking divide between the ornamental excess of the High Victorian Era and the rugged, purposeful "Working Gardens" of the Pennsylvania Germans. Through this deep dive, the Pennsylvania Master Gardeners uncover the sustainable secrets of the past and translate them into practical strategies for the modern back-to-the-land movement.
