Along with so many other floral displays dahlias have a place at the Master Gardeners Demonstration Garden.

I hope I’ve piqued your interest in the Master Gardeners Demonstration Garden. It’s well worth a visit if you’re in the area. It is open to the public and located at 2711 Woodcock Road in Sequim.

There is a small, lovely rose garden in the Master Gardeners demonstration garden. It’s later in the season for some roses, but others, like these, are at their peak.

The roses are one of the bigger draws for me.

Some of the blossoms are, simply, perfect.

The Master Gardeners Demonstration Garden surely has one of the more interesting scarecrows I’ve seen. This one was not far from a robust berry patch.

A variety of vegetables are grown in raised beds including chard and onions. Tomatoes are slowly ripening in the second bed from the left. Behind the vegetables is a small apple orchard.

We hadn’t visited the Master Gardeners Demonstration Garden this year and dropped by late the other day. As it does this time of year, it’s looking good. This is a view of a small portion of the garden devoted to grasses.

The Master Gardeners program trains interested participants in all aspects of horticulture. The program’s devotion shows in the many plants, shrubs, and trees on display in the garden.

There are many examples of plants that do well in our environment. The garden has signage labeling most of the plants a visitor sees in its groves and along trails.

In normal years the Master Gardeners have plant sales and frequent educational seminars through the growing season. Weekly clinics are open to locals who have gardening problems and need an expert’s guidance. These public events have been cancelled for now.

I’ll show you more of these delightful gardens in the coming days.
