Woodcock Walkabout September 2025

Join Master Gardener, Ed Adams,

on Thursday September 11th at 10:00 am

for the September 2025 Woodcock Walkabout.

Woodcock Demonstration Gardens is exploding with vibrant color.  The dahlias are fabulous this year. Many thanks to Master Gardener, Ed Adams. who has worked hard on his passion for this favorite flower. The Dahlias will be the major attraction on the tour.  Ed will guide you through 22 plus themed gardens where other Master Gardeners are busy as bees working the gardens to promote community enjoyment and education.

Pack your lunch, put on your sun hat and come take a free educational stroll. Meet in the covered pavilion where you will be given a walking tour guide and the 2025 Event Schedule. Master Gardener Ed Adams will meet you there for the start of the tour.

This month’s walk will focus on the dahlia garden but will include all the gardens such as the small fruits, which are ready for harvest, water conservation and of course, the visitors’ interests. The shade garden is a nice cool place to stroll.  The herbs in the culinary and medicinal beds are ready for the kitchen table. The fragrance of herbs and flowers fill the air.  The mushroom garden has fruiting bodies ready for production. The vegetable raised beds are supplying our local food bank and educational “Digging Deeper Saturday” classes have been taking place in the pavilion.

After the tour, you will be free to stroll around the gardens and speak with the Master Gardeners or relax with your picnic lunch at the picnic tables.

The Woodcock Demonstration Garden is a beautiful 2.74-acre site that has been in operation since 1987 and is open to the public for educational purposes.
