Kitchen Guild and Interpretative GardensInterpretive GardensRiversdale’s kitchen gardens are dedicated to long-time volunteer and Riverdale Park resident Betty Gossett. The eight square plots and adjacent orchard feature a variety of fruits and vegetables representative of the food needed to support the early 19th century Riversdale community. The gardens are maintained by a corps of volunteers who work in conjunction with Riversdale’s professional gardener. Ongoing projects include maintaining the herb garden, seasonal crop rotations, planting, and harvesting.
