The Old Point Loma Lighthouse Kitchen Garden: A Living Link to the Past
Tucked between the Old Point Loma Lighthouse and the Assistant Keeper’s Quarters lies one of Cabrillo National Monument’s most charming features: the Kitchen Garden. Once a crucial source of food for the lighthouse keeper and his family, the garden offers a window into the everyday resourcefulness required to live on the tip of Point Loma in the late 1800s.
Today, planted with leafy greens, flowering herbs, and seasonal fruits, the kitchen garden is an ever-changing exhibit that brings the past to life at Cabrillo National Monument.
