The Demonstration Garden
The Master Gardener Association maintains a Demonstration Garden at the Barnstable County 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, perennial flowers, and berry bushes. 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.
2024 Evenings in the Garden - Thursdays, 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.
Please join us this summer for topical discussions and tours of the garden once a month. Free and open to the public!
