NEW!
Ecological Landscape
Gardens
at the Cooperative
Extension Office
A variety of display gardens surround the Hancock County
Extension Office,
designed and cared for by Master Gardener volunteers. They include a
traditional
perennial garden, a shade garden, a drought tolerant garden of daylilies and
ornamental grasses, and wheelchair accessible raised beds for food production.
The newest addition to our landscape is the Native Plants Garden, designed by
Master Gardener Volunteers who participated in an advanced training in
Ecological
Landscaping. This new garden is filled with fruiting plants that attract
birds,
including our native bayberry, elderberry, highbush blueberry, winterberry,
bearberry and shrub roses.
