The Gardens
The Mabee Farm Historic Site has four gardens on the property, all maintained by volunteers. The members of the H. Gilbert Harlow Garden Club maintain a beautiful flower garden in the front yard of the Mabee Farm. There is also a colonial herb garden near the slave quarters. A large vegetable garden containing tomatoes, squash, corn, and pumpkins that is located behind the house is tended by Bill Dimplefeld. Finally, a small broom corn garden is cultivated behind the blacksmith's shop by broom maker Charlie Long.
