A Shaker Gardener’s Manual: Containing Plain Instructions for the Selection, Preparation, and Management of a Kitchen Garden: wi

The first Shaker Gardener's Manual was published in 1836 and included plain and practical directions for growing kitchen vegetables. The manual, which was intended to be given out by dealers of Shaker garden seeds, was expanded in 1843 with additional instructions on cooking and preserving vegetables. Published in cooperation with Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield, MA, "A Shaker Gardener's Manual" is a facsimile of the expanded 1843 edition.
