Pink Muhly Grass in the Sloop Garden
in promoting pollinators, a “Southern Living” garden with plant selections from Southern Living Magazine. Right now the camellias are budding and starting to bloom, and the pink muhly grass is lovely. All of the plants at the Agricultural Center were selected and planted by Master Gardener℠ volunteers. The gardens at the Agricultural Center are just one of the many volunteer projects the Master Gardener volunteers work on. They are also involved in many schools and 4-H programs and speak for different civic and community clubs. Each year the Volunteers put up a booth at the Rowan County Fair with different themes in order to educate the public on different gardening techniques.
