Educational Gardens

Educational and teaching gardens offer citizens in communities a chance to engage with Extension programs through hands-on and visual learning. They provide an opportunity to showcase sustainable practices, appropriate plant selection, successful vegetable gardening techniques, and more. We encourage you to visit our public demonstration gardens as we continue to add more throughout the Florida Keys.
