Lincoln County Master Gardener™ Association
DEMONSTRATION GARDENS
Hands on Gardening!
Demonstration gardens serve as a community resource to demonstrate, test, learn and enjoy gardening in its many forms in our unique climate and soils. Each of the Lincoln County demo gardens are supported by Master Gardener volunteers and are funded entirely by donations from individuals, organizations, and local businesses. The gardens are free and open to the public on designated days and times. We invite you to visit a garden, take a stroll, eat lunch, … and talk gardening!
The Goals of the Demonstration Garden
​
-
Demonstrate various types of locally suitable trees, shrubs, and other plants and their uses in home landscapes and gardens.
-
Raise public awareness of sound gardening practices through teaching, testing and demonstration.
-
Provide a place of beauty and tranquility for garden visitors of all ages.
