The garden at the John W. Jones Museum
1250 Davis St.
Elmira, NY

This garden was researched by Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners as reminiscent of an actual 19th century garden and contains heirloom vegetables of the late 1800's. The museum and grounds will all be restored as close as possible to its era since the buiding is listed on the National Registry.

Using the science and planting methods of that time period, the 30-foot by 30-foot plot is maintained by Master Gardners, museum board members and interested community workers.
