Lawn and Garden
The Horticulture Program of the Cooperative Extension Service is designed to meet the needs of the local horticulture industry, home gardens, and commercial and home lawn care.
The horticulture agent works with the industry and homeowners to provide choices for plant disease and insect management, nutrition, irrigation needs and design considerations. A horticulture program contributes to the community by providing growers with information on producing quality plant materials and broadens the choice of suitable plant material through a demonstration arboretum.
Master Gardeners are trained as volunteer leaders, to expand the ability of extension agents to reach homeowners and residents.
The demonstration area located at the Agricultural Center at 3125 Agricultural Center Drive, provides displays of plant material suitable for growth in St. Johns County through an arboretum, which includes tree and shrub plantings, daylily garden, herb garden, test garden for annuals, hydroponics display garden and a small vegetable garden.
