Come visit our Horticultural Learning Center

The garden is a space to learn about growing various plants that thrive in Hanover County through sustainable methods. We aim to demonstrate research-based gardening practices that can be incorporated into your home setting.

We broke ground on October 14, 2022, and have been so grateful for the support we have received from fellow gardeners and local Hanover businesses. Today, Master Gardeners and community volunteers manage the garden, which consists of multiple raised beds constructed using different methods and materials. We will share our successes and the lessons we learn from the challenges Mother Nature throws at us or mistakes we make along the way.

This year, we are highlighting some interesting and beautiful raised beds with different themes to inspire you, including:

Some of the raised beds demonstrate vertical gardening techniques. A significant garden feature is a rainwater harvesting system and other water-wise practices.

The garden is a public space where all are welcome. We will host outdoor classes, plant sales, and opportunities to ask a master gardener questions about developing and maintaining your garden. Sign up for our monthly newsletter to learn about upcoming classes and events.

Events are free. The information is priceless.

Consider volunteering with us for hands-on experience and camaraderie with fellow Hanover plant enthusiasts.

Let’s dig in together!
