(reconstructed)

The first Medical Garden (Hortus Medicus) was planted here in 1756 for Dr. Hans Martin Kalberlahn. This reconstruction is based upon the Christian Gottlieb Reuter map of Dr. August Schuberts' 1761 garden. The map indicates the plants for each bed. The garden is the earliest known well-documented colonial medical garden in America.

"Toward evening a man came from fifty miles away for medicine for his sick wife, but this time Br. Kalberlahn could not furnish it"."

Bethabara Diary, 1754.

"Next day a medicinal garden was laid out for Br. Kalberlahn."
Memorabilia of Outward Affairs, October, 1756.
