"Where the Gardens Used to Be" is a new Providential Gardener project that documents agriculture in the City of Providence, RI, from the earliest times to the present. Any garden, farm, or greenhouse that has been or currently exists in the original territory that was the Providence Plantation, established in 1636, can be listed.
I'm creating a website that will display the collection of gardens, but meanwhile, anyone with information about historical gardens and farms in Providence can email details to The Providential Gardener for inclusion. This is part of Providence's 375th celebration that will go on for the remainder of 2011.
The Roger Williams National Memorial at North Main and Smith Streets has demonstration gardens that show native American farming techniques ...
...and the plants usually found in colonial kitchen gardens.
