Arboretum & Garden

Stop 8: VEGETABLE GARDEN
Step into the fenced-in Vegetable Garden. Although no longer plowed by a team of horses, the Vegetable Garden still produces an abundance of crops each summer. The garden donates over 1,000 pounds of produce to the East Bay Food Pantry each season, and Blithewold's summer campers visit the garden each week to have fun while learning about gardening and harvesting their own vegetables. The garden also provides for Blithewold’s dedicated staff and volunteers.
Look to the south of the Vegetable Garden, beyond the fence. This is the Nursery, where our staff propagates trees.
