Southeast Corner--Herbs grown in the Culinary Garden such as sage, rosemary, lemon balm and savory would be used to flavor fresh and preserved foods and drinks.

Southwest Corner--The Medicinal Garden grew plants used to treat illness. Horehound soothed a sore throat, and chamomile soothed an upset stomach. These and other plants grown were gathered and made into teas, ointments and other remedies.

Northwest Corner--The Dye Garden features plants such as tansy, motherwort, joe-pye weed, dyer's broom, false indigo and our lady's bedstraw that would add color to homespun clothing.

Northeast Corner--The Cutting and Fragrance Garden has beautiful flowers both for fresh bouquets and to be dried for potpourri.

Surrounding the gardens is a cedar picket fence with a counter-weighted gate.
