Please
visit the Harriet Beecher Stowe Garden on your next visit to the
Museum. The three raised beds feature crops grown in Mandarin
in the 19th Century. Some
of the crops were mentioned in Harriet
Beecher Stowe's Palmetto Leaves in
the chapter
entitled "Our Experience in Crops." The kitchen garden is
maintained
with the help of the Duval County Extension Service.
Excess food will be donated to
the Mandarin Food Bank.
