I volunteered for the first time at the
1860's Kitchen Garden at Champoeg State Park. It has a lovely rustic arbor covered with
hops.

The garden has several prepared beds. Most of the bed is typically in one crop with a little patch at the end need the path planted in something different.

I liked the use of
cloches (glass bell jar) to give some plants a head start.


There were some terrific
trellises made from apple tree trimmings. Some had the buds bloom after they were planted.

Here is a nice arrangement for beans to climb on...

I worked on making a large trellis that we took to calling trellizilla that will obscure the modern electrical box once the plants grow up.


A view of the garden with the threshing barn beyond.

I liked the look of their compost bins as well.
