The 2025 class of Master Gardener Interns got a close-up tour of the Derwood Demonstration Garden during their class on Wednesday, June 11. This was the first time we’ve been able to provide such a tour, with the class moving to a daytime hybrid in-person/Zoom format. Led by Demo Garden co-directors MGs Mary Jo Eagan and Wendy Thomas and a number of other current MGs, the class was broken down into smaller groups and taken through all the areas of the garden, including the shade garden, vegetables, trees and shrubs, composting, therapeutic horticulture, herb and aromatic garden, kitchen garden, children’s garden, water garden (the frogs were croaking beautifully for everyone!) and the butterfly garden. As a bonus, the interns got to taste fresh blueberries and snap peas!
