Visit the Demonstration Gardens 

The demonstration gardens at Freedom Park and Independence Park are designed, planted and maintained by Master Gardener volunteers.  The gardens have a variety of plants that are pollinator magnets. You may even see our volunteers working in the gardens, teaching workshops and answering questions.
