Our Extension Master Gardener Volunteers plant and maintain several demonstration gardens on our grounds and elsewhere. All of the gardens on our grounds are free to visit at any time during daylight hours. We endeavor to keep all of our plants labeled so that you can identify plants that you want to try at home.

What is a demonstration garden? Imagine it as a field trip for gardeners. Depending upon the theme or situation being studied, these sites are developed to highlight plant types, care, sustainable practices, vegetable growing, and much more. Other demo garden uses might be to test out different varieties of plants, or to show attendees how to garden using specific growing methods, such as hugelkultur. Who puts together experimental garden plots? Sometimes, they are assembled through universities and colleges as a teaching tool for students or as testing sites for certain plants and growing techniques. Others are community efforts whose aim is outreach.

Demonstration gardens, sometimes referred to as learning landscapes or teaching gardens are a collection of plants assembled and organized in a manner that allows garden visitors to access and study them.
