Demonstration Gardens at the Park
Demonstration Gardens surround the Nature Center, each designed with a unique theme: the Butterfly Garden, Reptile and Amphibian Garden, Herb Garden, Heirloom Garden, Native Plant Garden, and the Bird Buffet (a variety of interpretive materials are available to help you navigate the gardens). The gardens are maintained by volunteers, using sustainable gardening methods. They provide habitat for wildlife and serve as an educational and recreational resource for park visitors. Group tours can be arranged by calling the Nature Center.
You can learn more about the plants in these gardens by enrolling in a community program offered through the Nature Center. To find out how you can help out in the gardens, or to learn more about scheduled classes, visit or call the Nature Center at 541.488.6606.
Special thanks to all the wonderful volunteer gardeners whose hard work and creative energy
have helped make a community vision come to life.
