Garden Tours, Hibbs House

Friday May 29, 2026
12:30 PM

Join Washington Crossing Historic Park’s Historical Horticulturist, Anna Davis, for a guided walk through the working garden that supports the park’s interpretation of colonial life. During this 45-minute tour, visitors will explore the seasonal herbs, vegetables, flowers, and dye plants that would have been commonly grown in American kitchen gardens of the 1700s. Learn how these plants were used for food, textiles, and everyday remedies while discovering how historians and gardeners reconstruct historic landscapes using period sources. Along the way, Anna will share stories about early American gardening practices, heirloom plant varieties, and the role gardens played in the daily life of families living along the Delaware River during the Revolutionary era
