View of the Garden

Master Gardeners developed the original demonstration garden in 1994 on land provided by the Springfield/Greene County Park Board.  In 2001, the garden was completely reworked and expanded to include:

• A semi-formal turf plot showcasing eight varieties of of turf grass
• A large vegetable garden that has annually yielded over 600 pounds of produce which is then donated to the Victory Mansion and other charities
• An expanded Missouri wildflower section
• An upgraded mixed border area of trees, perennials and shrubs
• An improved herb garden divided into culinary, scented, medicinal, and dyeing herbs

The Garden is maintained by Master Gardeners like Jim Hawkins who volunteer their time working in the beds

Last year, members recorded 9,622 hours of volunteer time.

We hope that after strolling through our Garden, you will rest a while and enjoy the view! 
See you soon!
