Demonstration & Learning Gardens
Anna Smith Children's Garden - (Tracyton Blvd. & Fairgrounds Rd., Bremerton)
This magical garden was the very first Demo Garden for the WSU Kitsap County Master Gardener Program and is lovingly tended by a crew that meets there every Wednesday from 9 a.m. until noon. Vegetables and fruit are grown and donated to the local food banks. There is also a children's gardening area that will be planned, planted and tended by a 4-H group on another day of the week. Classes and tours occur on a regular basis during the growing season. Compost tea is brewed at this garden for sale to the Master Gardeners.
Raab Park Community Garden - (Caldart Street, Poulsbo)
Both Raab Park and Northwest College of Arts were the second set of Demo Gardens for the WSU Kitsap County Master Gardener Program. The Raab Park Youth Garden area includes a 10,000 square foot children's garden planned, planted and tended by youth and a 50-plot p-patch. Community members, parents, youth and Master Gardeners are involved in this true community garden. Classes are held with parents and children in attendance every Monday from June through August. The garden area also holds Kitsap County's largest home-gardening compost demonstration site. Compost classes are held once a month from April through October. Classes on vegetable gardening are conducted during the growing season. Teenagers from Westsound Academy grow vegetables for Fishline (local foodbank) and also help out with all the youth activities during spring, summer and fall of each year.
