Community Education Garden

1100 North Western Avenue
Wenatchee, WA

The WSU Chelan-Douglas County Master Gardeners Community Education Garden has themed gardens that demonstrate how gardening and landscaping can be productive and beautiful while employing sustainable gardening practices.

Riverfront Park Demonstration Garden

WSU Master Gardeners designed, planted, and now maintain a xeriscape demonstration garden in partnership with the Chelan County PUD at Riverfront Park in Wenatchee. We are here spring to fall on Wednesday mornings. Stop by to talk to us.

The Riverfront Park Xeriscape Garden provides a showcase for more than 70 varieties of low-water-use plants and grasses. Each season produces a new display of flowers.

The garden can be accessed by parking at the Fifth Street Ice Rink parking lot and walking south along the Apple Capital Loop Trail. Located between the path and the Columbia River and near the Nile Saunders Miniature Steam Train station, this display includes over 40 different varieties of low-water-use plants.

Bridge of Friendship Japanese Garden

This pocket-sized garden at Eastmont Avenue & 9th Street offers a shady spot and honors the City of East Wenatchee’s relationship to its city sister in Japan. It is part of the city’s park system. It demonstrates how plants respond to shade in this climate, and elements of a Japanese style garden.

The Master Gardeners maintain this garden. You can usually find us working here Thursday mornings during the gardening season. Stop by to talk to us.

Leavenworth Fish Hatchery Pollinator Garden

WSU Master Gardeners maintain this garden, a pollinator and monarch butterfly habitat designed for student and public education.
The garden is in front of the main hatchery building at 12790 Fish Hatchery Road in Leavenworth, WA.
