The Demonstration Garden is a project of the Calaveras County Master Gardeners whose primary goal is educating the public about home gardening.  The garden has been under construction for several years with all funding coming from Master Gardeners, UC Cooperative Extension, grants, and private donations.  Funds raised from bi-annual plant sales support the development of the Demonstration Garden.
