Outdoor Classroom for Demonstration Garden

New Outdoor Classroom at Demonstration Garden

In 2017 Calaveras Master Gardeners received a Whole Kids grant for $2000 to create an outdoor classroom area. Additional funds were contributed by the memorial fund for Master Gardener, Tony Abel. Designed and built by talented Master Gardener Erin Harper, construction of the structure is now complete. The plan is to have this area completely finished by our first Open Garden in March.

Master Gardeners regularly contribute articles to local newspapers. Click on an title below to read the article.
