Master Gardener Community Outreach Project

As part of the University of Connecticut Cooperative Extension System Master Gardener Program, master gardener interns must complete 30 hours of a community outreach project. The Squire's Tavern Kitchen Garden project involves historical research of primary source documents, articles, and papers to assist in recreating a New England kitchen garden from the mid-19th Century.

Thank You!

Many individuals were responsible for creating this historic kitchen garden. The list of names grew over the course of five months, resulting in a collaborative community effort that crossed town, county, and state lines. Many thanks to all of you for your time, talents, gifts and support.
