The Greenville Master Gardeners have partnered with the museum to create and grow raised beds with vegetables, pollinators and herbs. The garden is located on the Patio just outside the cafe. It is open to guests to come and learn how things grow. Each week during the spring and Summer there are 2 Master Gardeners available to answer your garden related questions. The garden is currently growing some fall and winter crops. The MG’ are also involved in 1 day programs throughout the year. When you and your children come to play at the museum, stop by the garden to see what is growing!
