The 2100 sq ft Edible Demonstration Garden at Indian Valley Organic Farm and Garden (IVOFG) in Novato was designed and installed by UC Marin Master Gardeners in 2016 and is a hands-on teaching tool for UC MMG and the public.  The garden showcases sustainable agricultural practices while growing over 100 varieties of vegetables, flowers, fruit and herbs in six distinct gardens:
• Raised Bed Garden
• Straw Bale Garden
• Perennial Garden
• Exotic Spice Garden
• In-Ground Rows & Back 40 Garden
• Fruit Tree Garden
