Deutschheim Living Gardens

Deutschheim State Historic Site has a public garden in the backyard of the Pommer-Gentner House. This garden is an example of a traditional German Gemusegarten, or "Vegetable Garden". Deutschheim’s four-square Gemusegarten is planted with heirloom varieties, just as 19th-century German immigrants would have done, incorporating flowers among the vegetables for both beauty and practicality. The Deutschheim gardens are open daily, 10:00 to 4:00, from April through October.
