Join us as we visit the Master Gardener’s Demo Garden in Port Charlotte. The Charlotte County Master Gardener Volunteer Demonstration Garden is a Florida-Friendly Landscaping site located at the Charlotte County Environmental Campus in Port Charlotte. It spans roughly one acre around a series of retention ponds, connected by brick pathways and centered around a vine-covered pergola. Features labeled native plants, butterfly and pollinator gardens, palms, ornamental trees, succulents, ground covers, bromeliads, and a tropical fruit garden.

We will carpool to the gardens –  leave from Shannon Staub Library at 8:30 am. The tour will run from 9:00 am to approximately 10:00 am. We can stay longer to take it all in and ask questions.
