The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Early American Women and their Kitchen Gardens | August 18 @ 11am
In this virtual lecture via Zoom, garden historian Lesley Parness will take us back to the Colonial era to introduce the original ‘Real Housewives.” In this lecture, we will learn about the kitchen gardens from the 1700’s that fed, healed, and clothed Early American families. We will also explore the 18th century “huswife” skill set, which included “physicke, cookery, distillation, perfumery, the making of wool, hemp, flax, dayries, brewing, baking,” and, of course – gardening.
