Demonstration Gardens

The Master Gardener s of Northern Virginia have developed and maintain five demonstration gardens. In each of these gardens, the community can see firsthand the types of plants that grow well in our area, recommended planting practices, and overall garden care. Visitors can also simply enjoy each garden’s unique beauty. The gardens contain a large variety of plants. Old favorites grow alongside new experimental varieties. Volunteers maintain the gardens throughout the year using the practices and techniques learned in the VCE Master Gardening Training Course and monthly continuing education programs. If you see a “work party” in progress, stop by and talk to our volunteers. They’ll be happy to show you the gardens and answer your questions.  Please use the drop down menu on the black navigation bar above to visit each individual demonstration garden’s page.
