The Kitchen Garden Project is a partnership with the History Garden,
situated between two heritage houses at 539-41 Main Road.
The History Garden is composed of heritage and naturalized flower beds, and home to the largest known Black Walnut Tree in Quebec. A stone wall, salvaged from a house foundation and three artistic benches offer vantage points to relax and experience the site.

Goals of the Kitchen Garden Project
- (in the spirit of this historical space,) connect us with the way food has historically been grown in backyard or public gardens.
- prioritize the planting of heritage and heirloom varieties as much as possible,
- use a mixture of old and new garden design techniques with a focus on ecological integrity,
- provide space for hands on education
- connect people with nature
- be an intergenerational space for community building
- provide vegetables for a community multi-cultural meal
- create a link with the Seed Garden and Library (described below)
- facilitate communication about Hudson's agricultural history by providing a space for the Hudson Food Collective to express its vision
The 2016 Season
The 2016 term was the first active season for the Kitchen Garden - it was a time for discovery and experimentation.
In the Fall 2016, we closed the garden with a permaculture workshop
led by Graham Calder from P3 Permaculture.
