Grow with us
Master Gardener volunteer project and the community garden bed
Master Gardeners and community volunteers help lead a front bed installation during the event, adding new perennials to refresh the space for everyone who visits through the year. We provide tools, materials, perennial plants (or space for yours), and a dedicated area for Master Gardener planning and stewardship.
We are plant lovers ourselves, especially Hellebores for their winter blooms and Ajuga for its ground cover. Madison County Master Gardeners: we would love your ideas, and we are happy to work with gardeners who share the passion. Email [email protected] about the volunteer project.
Our raised community garden bed, about 3.5 by 16 feet, is open to look around. It is a shared space for everyone through the year.
