Abstract
\r\n The Faulkner County Master Gardeners and the County Agent drew up landscape plans, organized resources, implemented/planted landscape—legacy garden over the last three years. This project used to be called the water conservation garden and had to be moved to a new location in 2009. Thus the legacy garden took new form and location at the Natural Resources center/Extension office. This garden is designed to educate the public on how to implement these gardening practices: ( irrigation, native plantings, wildlife & environment friendly plants, etc.) into their own home landscapes. This garden serves as a great teaching tool –“right in the back yard” for the county agent to work with school tour groups, garden clubs, clients and the general public. This garden is nearly an acre and is broken up into over seven gardens, each teaching a different aspect of gardening such as butterfly, children’s garden, low water irrigation system, etc.
