The Master Gardener Discovery Garden is free and open daily to the public.
Please plan on visiting the Garden anytime during the growing season to view the inspiring Garden designs and exciting new annuals, perennials, grasses, native plants, hardy roses, dwarf conifers and bushes. Remember, gardens are planted to “peak” during the Iowa State Fair, at which time all Garden art and plant labels will be in place and Master Gardeners will be available from 8:00 am - 8:00 pm to answer your gardening questions.

Nothing Compared to the Iowa State Fair!
Thank you to the Co-chairs of the Discovery Garden for guiding the volunteers and a huge thank you to all the Polk County Master Gardeners for all the hard work this year to make the garden another huge success at this year's Iowa State Fair! The garden is truely a team effort and wouldn't be there for enjoyment of fair-goers without each and every one of you!
It was a beautiful week for the fair! The weather was perfect, the gardens looked great and the response from the public was outstanding as usual! Many more will visit the Discovery Garden as the season winds down and the bed designers start to think about planning for next year already! If you are interested in being a part of the Discovery Garden, contact the Iowa State Extension office for information on becoming a Polk County Master Gardener, or contact one of the garden co-chairs if you are already certified.
