Who are the Master Gardeners? It's no secret.... They are your neighbors who love to garden, have extensive training, and want to share this environmentally responsible and sustainable knowledge with you. Master Gardeners are volunteers who answer horticultural questions from the public, speak to local groups, present monthly brown bag lectures, conduct workshops, create landscape designs for non-profits, work with youth at school gardens and write articles for local newspapers.
Whether you’re a newcomer or an experienced pro, the goal is to help you with the latest and greatest science-based information on gardening for our unique environmental conditions
The demonstration garden, designed and maintained by the Master Gardeners, is open to the public Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (closed holidays). If you come when open, PLEASE be sure to come in and explore! You won’t want to miss the gardens, but if you come after business hours, the cache is still available.
Are you looking for some expert gardening advice? Have you wondered what the native plants you are considering would look like in a thriving mature demonstration garden? Do you have questions? -What to plant? -When plants have problems? Meet and learn from other gardeners. You can find answers AND a GEOCACHE!
