Sorry. No enlargements for these.

This one-acre demonstration site was started in 1990 by reclaiming a vacant overgrown field. Master Gardener Volunteers with the N. C. Cooperative Extension Service, using donated materials from corporations and individuals have created a variety of garden demonstrations that offer the general public a hands-on learning classroom.

The Legacy Demonstration Garden is open year round from sunrise until sunset. Admission is free. The garden is located behind the barn adjacent to the Agricultural Center.
