The Single Brothers’ Garden is an award winning restoration and the largest interpreted garden in Old Salem. Located to the rear of the Single Brothers’ House and Workshop, it historically fed the men and boys of the Single Brothers' Choir who lived in the house, sometimes as many as sixty. The Single Sisters Choir, whose house is located across Salem Square from the Brothers House, cultivated similar extensive gardens east of the Square in the area that is now Salem College.

Historically, the Single Brothers Choir occupied nearly 700 acres of land that stretched to the west behind their house, and included the garden, fields, pasture, stables, a brewery and slaughterhouse. In 1769, they constructed and cultivated their garden laid out in large squares, on earthen terraces that extended from their back yard down to the creek. In addition to garden squares for vegetables, they also maintained a tree nursery and orchard. After the Single Brothers Choir disbanded in 1823, individuals began to rent garden squares in the old garden.  

The Single Brothers Garden today is planted with crops to represent what they would have grown in their garden and fields. Depending on the season, the large terraced garden squares grow heirloom vegetables and grains, including maize, squash, field peas, broom corn, winter wheat, oats, lettuce, peas, turnips, beets, cabbage, okra, potatoes, melon, peanuts, beans, sweet potatoes, and buck wheat. Apple and cherry trees have been re-established at perimeters and grapes grow along the fence.
