This Year's Plants in review !Boy this is a fabulous year. Welcome 2009The Stein Family Farm Museum is very proud of our plantings. We have several trees and some shrubs that date back to the original Stein family's residence (1900 to 1950). When the Farm was turned into a museum, a landscape specialist identified what was present. Many plants that were not considered historically correct were removed, and now the policy (with some exceptions) is to plant varieties that were in existence more or less around the turn of the 20th Century. Some of the exceptions may include current varieties of vegetables and flowers. The Farm also participates in planting activities that you can participate in. We have regular Saturday gardening activities that includes regular weeding, pruning, watering, planting and harvesting from our community garden plots, and you can work in our compost piles and worm bins. We also celebrate Arbor Day with tree planting, during Farm Days children can plant potatoes, and May Day includes making flower filled May baskets. If you are going to come in a group larger than a family of 4, please let us know before you show up, or we may not have enough tasks to spread around! Below you will find links to the entire year.
