Since 1991, the Master Gardener volunteers of Cornell Cooperative Extension Albany County have designed, planted, maintained, and educated residents through demonstration gardens to showcase plantings appropriate to the Capital District region.
The main learning garden located at the CCE Albany office, 24 Martin Road in Voorheesville, provides visitors with a wealth of information related to sound horticultural practices as well as a variety of native plants and pollinators in an outdoor setting full of learning opportunities.
The Albany County Master Gardener program is raising funds to continue its educational mission for the community by making improvements to the outdoor garden environment at the Voorheesville site.
Funds will help to:
Replace gazebo
Add picnic tables and a small storage shed
Provide shade coverings for children's garden and compost demonstration area
Update gardening equipment and tools
Secure materials to repair fencing
Create new educational signage
