The Vegetable Gardens at Monticello
As promised, I made a slide show for you of my favorite photos of the Monticello vegetable gardens. It sure was hard to pick and choose the ones to add, I have a ton of photos of the gardens. I finally narrowed it down to 36 of my favorites. Click through the photos below with the arrow buttons on the side of the player, if you click on the small icon in the top left hand corner you can view the slide show in full screen (click the button again to exit full screen mode when you’re finished). It takes a while to load since I uploaded larger files, so be patient, it will be worth the wait!

This vegetable garden surely is inspirational. I’d love to have one this big, of course when I can retire and have nothing else to do but garden. Until then, I’ll keep these photos to inspire my future gardening efforts.

Here’s a slideshow of the House and Ornamental Gardens from my visit.

so beautiful! The asparagus is gorgeous enough to make me try and grow some.

I love the small brick building with the grand windows – such a serene place to get out of the weather for a moment and still view the garden and landscape beyond.
Gorgeous garden – thank you for sharing them with us.

The natural look is what I like most. You mentioned this yesterday, I think. I like the way the weathered wood amongst the plants looks and I will keep that in mind as I continue to garden.
Thanks for the photos, Brenda.

It’s so beautiful. I’m going there in September and can’t wait to see, first hand, what they’re doing.

Those gardens inspire me; not sure if it is the energy, the history, or what exactly. I walk by those gardens and it makes me want to weep. Such amazingly, efficient beauty.

By far my favorite items are the trellises made from twigs and branches.
What are the clay pots for that I see in a couple of the pictures?
to Turling's comment
They’re cloches, used for blanching vegetables or to help protect things from frosts in the spring or fall.
to Susy's comment
Your pictures are amazing, thanks for sharing them. What beautiful gardens.
to Mike's comment
So beautiful. I really need to get back there. Maybe next year! I love all the trellises. I need to make some like that!
to Kaytee's comment
I like the rustic look of the trellises and I sure want an asparagus patch just like that one.
to lee's comment
I know, I think his asparagus patches would take up my entire lot, but I sure wouldn’t run out of asparagus in the spring!
to Susy's comment
Thanks for including the photo of hops. I’m looking for trellis structure ideas for next year. I may have to make a day trip to C’ville. It’s really great that they’ve reconstructed the gardens.

Very nice! I like the simplicity of the bench. But I love all the gardens!
to Diane@Peaceful Acres's comment
I love the bench too, I’m going to have Mr Chiots build a few for me for around the gardens.
to Susy's comment
A garden you could spend every day in and never be tired of. Lovely photographs.

greetings, I thought I left a message earlier, but I don’t see it here. I just want to thank you for posting such a wonderful account of your visit to Monticello. I see these gardens every day, and am fortunate to have an office overlooking the vegetable garden. But, you’ve given me new insights from a visitors’ perspective. And, such great photos. You might enjoy the article I wrote for Twinleaf on vines and staking plants. You can find it on the monticello.org Web site if you keep poking around. thanks again.
