Brevard Discovery Garden

The Brevard Discovery Garden's (BDG) mission is to promote an increased appreciation of our Central Florida environment. The Garden seeks to inspire, support, and educate the community about environmentally friendly horticulture through UF/IFAS research-based demonstrations, collections, and displays.  The BDG is being developed by Master Gardener Volunteers using a combination of Native, Keystone, and Florida Friendly plants. BDG’s goal is to provide the local community with an educational venue to show residents “firsthand” how to use sustainable horticultural practices that support a healthy environment.

Volunteering

You don’t need any special training to volunteer – just a willingness to “play in the dirt.” As a volunteer, you will receive valuable “on-the-job” guidance from an experienced Master Gardener.
