Demonstration Gardens

Two demonstration sites are maintained by Clallam County Master Gardeners. At each of these sites, the community can attend scheduled classes and workshops or visit any time to learn from demonstrations and observe plants that grow well in our area, recommended planting practices and more. Visitors can also enjoy each garden’s unique beauty and large variety of ornamental plants, vegetables and fruits.

The Woodcock Demonstration Garden is located at 2711 Woodcock Road in Sequim, WA. The garden demonstrates a broad range of ornamental and edible plants, native gardening, composting, and garden design. The extensive organic vegetable display area includes examples of vegetables that grow well throughout the year, and demonstrates growing techniques and tools that will help you get the most out of your home vegetable garden. Gardens also includes perennial beds, an herb garden, an extensive orchard and berry displays (including rare and unusual fruit), a mushroom garden, pollinator garden, a native meadow demonstration, rose garden and more. The Woodcock Demonstration Garden has a classroom and an outdoor pavilion where Plant clinics, free lectures, and workshops are held from May through October.  The garden is open to the public during daylight hours year-round. Please visit our Calendar to earn about upcoming educational events.

The 5th Street Community Garden is located at 328 E. 5th St. directly across from Port Angeles City Hall. Master Gardeners maintain demonstration plots that showcase vegetable and blueberry varieties that work well in our climate. Community members can learn about innovative ways to extend the growing season, how to grow more warm season vegetables in our cool climate, how to improve soil and maintain plant nutrition and more. The gardens often highlight new or unusual crops for our area, such as sweetpotatoes, perennial tree kale and others. If you would like to talk to a Master Gardener about their vegetable plots, work parties are scheduled on Tuesdays from 10am – 12pm throughout the summer months.  Educational garden clinics are typically held on the second Saturday of each month from April through September.

Please see the Calendar for updated days and times.
