The Garden’s History and Purpose
The Heritage Garden of Hunt County was developed in 2001. With much planning, numerous volunteers and many hours of labor, the Heritage Garden has become what it is today. What was a vacant lot is now a beautiful green space enhancing downtown Greenville. The Heritage Garden is a teaching and demonstration garden with the purpose of improving gardening skills throughout our community. With the cooperative effort of Texas A&M, AgriLife Extension and Hunt County Master Gardeners, the Heritage Garden showcases many recommended cultivars of plants for our area such as: Earth-Kind© Roses and Texas Superstar© plant selections. A few of the many topics that are taught in the garden are water conservation, composting, and plant propagation. Master Gardener volunteers throughout the years have overseen the design, maintenance, and expansion of this teaching resource.
