I’m disappointed that JH in their review wasn’t appreciative of the Master Gardeners’ tour. It was a beautiful day. All the folks working on the gardens did a wonderful job of Sharing their successes and challenges, and were extremely gracious in volunteering their time for the tour.

Many questions were left unanswered. Like how would one propagate certain plants discussed (nobody knew). I would say, name should probably be "amateur gardeners of Monmouth," which isn't shabby. It denotes level of expertise contained within.

Many in the group joked that the garden looks better than their home gardens. The garden has many plants to provide fuel for Monarchs on their migration south, so most of the plants were not ... read more
