The Master Gardener Association maintains a Demonstration Garden at the Cape Cod Fairgrounds on Route 151 in Falmouth. Master gardener volunteers gather each week during the growing season to plant and tend this garden for the benefit of the general public. The garden includes extensive vegetable plantings along with herbs, berry bushes, annual and perennial flower beds, native plants, and shade gardens. All produce is donated to local food banks.

The Demonstration Garden is open daily to the public during the Barnstable County Fair, held annually at the end of July. Stop by and tour the recently renovated beds and chat with master gardener volunteers during Fair hours at the end of July. Talks are scheduled daily in the garden on a variety of topics.

Thursdays, May to September

5:15 to 6:45 p.m.

Join us for our summer series of garden talks, Evenings in the Garden, at the Cape Cod Fairgrounds. Follow the progress of the Demonstration Garden through the growing season and learn new techniques to use in your own vegetable, perennial, herb and cutting gardens. Sessions include talks, tours, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions. FREE; no advanced registration required.

PARKING: Please use the parking lot located at the main entrance to the fairgrounds. The demonstration garden is just a short walk inside of the gate located down the walkway to the left of the white office building. Seating is available but please feel free to bring your own chair.
