Info

Garden beds were interplanted with herbaceous plants (vegetables, herbs, flowers) while grapevines and gourds covered fence- lines. Apple, peach, cherry, apricot, and pear trees lined fences or were grouped in small orchards to the rear of the lot. Gooseberries or currants often marked the corners of the garden beds, such as in the Triebel and Eberhardt lots. The intent in planting family gardens was not so much to . provi+ aesthetically pleasing plant displays as it was to sus- tain Moravian households with a diversity of plants for culinary, medicinal, and industrial use. Even so, Moravians often sprinkled some ornamental flowers (hollyhocks, hyacinths, daffodils, amaranthus, cockscomb, roses, and lilacs) among the vegetables. Gardens solely for the cultivation of flowering plants were not prevalent until the mid-19th century. d. Outlots The Moravians clung to the practice of cultivating a field or meadow outside of Salem. They grew crops, such as wheat, potatoes, corn, and pumpkins, or grazed a dairy cow or horse in this open space. Three farms, called plantations, were established as part of the congregation community with the mission of supplying supplemental food for the town. However, the farm operations were never successful and only provided the basic grains and milk. Family gardens were still expected to yield enough vegetables and fruits for their owners. The first boundaries of fields were zig-zag rail fences, 20
split from walnut, chestnut, or oak. The rail fence is distinctly American, and when planted with bittersweet, honeysuckle, trumpet- vine, or wild grapes was an important feature in the Salem landscape. Interpretive Highlights Lots in Salem were divided into zones for house, yard, and garden. Houses were built with direct access to the street - front yards were uncommon. Functional yards were fenced off to the sides and behind the house - used for household activities and recreation. Garden space was divided into rectangular/square plots for vegetables, herbs, flowers, and small fruits; gardens were always fences and frequently bordered by fruit trees. 21
