Garden Walk

The University of Illinois Extension Knox County Master Gardeners are volunteers who educate the community through many activities and opportunities.

This event will be a fun family experience. Let our Master Gardeners help answer your garden related questions while touring the garden sites. Children may participate in a scavenger hunt and will have the opportunity to find a painted rock to take home (while supplies last). Demonstrations by Master Gardeners on identifying, dividing, potting and pruning plants; irrigating; preparing delicious food with fresh produce from the garden and more!
