Our six Demonstration Gardens are a resource for home gardeners. Please take a moment to enjoy them, learn about the plants, and draw inspiration for your home garden.

We've launched Voices in the Garden in most Dauphin County Demonstration Gardens. Voices in the Garden captures stories of the plants, garden, history of the community, and more. We invite you to this educational audio experience by scanning the QR codes posted in the spring, summer, and fall.
Over the course of the year, you'll also have several opportunities to join us on a Walk and Talk with a Master Gardener held at our Demonstration Gardens and various county parks.
