 Our Mission

The mission of the Master Gardener Program is to provide current, research-based, home horticulture information and education to the citizens of Iowa through ISU Extension programs and projects. Through their participation in educational activities, Master Gardeners also increase their own personal knowledge in horticulture.

Pond Clean Up Class

Saturday, April 13th 9-1.  Our pond is a popular feature for our garden and it doesn't care for itself.  This is a very important part of having a water feature so please take some time to come help clean it up and get it started for the year.  The crew from Just Add Water will be there to guide the process and educate gardeners on caring for ponds.  Lots of hands make light work so bring your waterproof  shoes and gloves and join the fun!

2009 Pond Project

In 2009, Just Add Water helped the Discovery Garden make-over the pond.  The old one was disassembled and a new and improved pond was created.
