Extraordinary Gardens by Ordinary People is an opportunity for the public to visit the gardens of Certified Master Gardeners.
The purpose of the Garden Tour project is to educate the public about gardening and to raise funds. Tours are of Master Gardeners home gardens. The funds generated support activities of Polk County Master Gardener projects.

Follow up on our tour with a visit to one of Polk County’s many plant suppliers. We guarantee you’ll go home refreshed and re-energized, and ready to return to your own extraordinary garden.
