Chilton County Master Gardener Sondra Henley had a vision for a new Demonstration Garden. So she formed a committee, set the wheels to rolling, and started making changes. It’s now well under way and going to be something that the Demo Garden Committee, workers, and all Master Gardeners can be proud of! She has it planned well with it being completed in 4 phases. The 1st phase is almost done. Much of the material is being donated and the committee has applied for and gotten 2 grants. It will truly be a teaching garden with the capability of an outdoor classroom. It will also have a shade garden, a water feature, a pergola, and the last phase, a working green house.  Volunteer work days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings with some evenings in the hottest months. Dates and times are listed on the Event Calendar.

The Chilton County MG Demonstration Garden is currently undergoing a complete redesign. The line has been run from the white shed to the electrical panel location in the garden and the Demo Garden committee is on its way to laying the garden electrical lines. Improvements will start on the white shed immediately. Pictured: Ira Jones, MG Intern, and Alan Reed, Demo Garden Co-Chair, hooking up the electrical line to the garden.
