Our
Demonstration Garden
The demonstration garden at Freedom Park was designed in 2006 by a group of Extension Master Gardener volunteers. Since then, we've added more plants, removed others and made more changes, including adding stones in 2022.
The garden makes good use of undulating berms, providing distinctly different planting strategies with sun or shade exposures. You'll see a variety of plants that are pollinator magnets. The garden is near the Mahlon Adams Pavilion at 2453 Cumberland Ave., Charlotte.
Exciting news for us is, with the Extension office moving to a new location near Clanton Road, a small team is working on planning and developing several teaching gardens at that location. This is in the very early stages, so check back in the weeks ahead. We'll also share photos on this page.

The stone was moved from a previous location and installed at the Freedom garden in 2022. The group also installed stepping stones in part of the garden.
