🌱 This is what being a Master Gardener looks like!
Learning together. Getting your hands dirty. Trying something new. And having a lot of fun along the way!

These Brevard County Master Gardener Volunteers recently gathered in the Brevard Discovery Garden for a hands-on continuing education class on propagating plants from seed. Yes, they learned a lot — but as you can see, learning is even better when you’re doing it with people who share your love of gardening! 🌿

And the learning doesn’t stop after you complete the Master Gardener training. Continuing education, hands-on experiences, volunteering in our gardens and community, and friendships with fellow gardeners are all part of being a Master Gardener Volunteer.

🌻 Could this be you in 2027? Registration is now underway for the 2027 UF/IFAS Brevard County Master Gardener Volunteer Program, beginning in January. Our 2027 classes still have openings, and we’d love to welcome a new group of gardeners who are curious, enthusiastic, and ready to learn.

🦋 Pollinator Power in action! 🐝

What happens when you bring together curious people of all ages, some pollinator know-how, and a garden full of things to discover? Citizen scientists in the making! 🌸

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Pollinator Power at the Brevard Discovery Garden. Participants learned how to identify pollinators, count and record their sightings, and then headed into the garden to put those new skills into practice.

We loved seeing so much enthusiasm for the pollinators that share our gardens. Take a look at some highlights from a wonderful morning! 💚

A big thank you to everyone who joined us Wednesday for Pollinator Power in the Garden! We loved seeing so many people eager to learn more about the pollinators that visit our gardens — and how each of us can help collect valuable information about them.

Now it’s time to put those new pollinator-spotting skills to work!

Today and tomorrow, August 21–22, you can participate in the Great Southeast Pollinator Census from your own garden, a neighborhood park, or another public green space. Grab your census sheet, find a flowering plant, and see who comes to visit!

THE FEBRUARY FREEZE: Sometimes gardening means celebrating beauty. Other times, it means accepting loss and hoping for renewal.

Our beloved Royal Poinciana has shaded visitors to the Brevard Discovery Garden for nearly a decade. Following the historic February freeze, the tree suffered severe cold damage that it may never fully recover from.

This week, volunteers carefully removed the dead canopy in hopes that the tree can regenerate from healthy wood. Only time will tell.

Nature is full of surprises—and we're not giving up hope.

🌳 We'll keep everyone updated as the story unfolds.

Take a Self-Guided Tour of the garden on Wednesdays and Fridays, 9-11am. There's always something new to see!

Something exciting is growing in the Brevard Discovery Garden!

The Tiny Dream House Sustainable Landscape Project is underway, and Phase 1 is already transforming the landscape around the Tiny Dream House.

Over the course of the summer, our Master Gardener Volunteers will complete this exciting three-phase project:

Phase 1 – Build the Foundation - Creating pathways and preparing the garden beds.
Phase 2 – Bring the Landscape to Life - Installing native plants, pollinator habitat, and educational displays.
Phase 3 – Grow, Learn & Sustain - Adding raised vegetable beds, rainwater collection, composting, and solar-powered irrigation.

And there's even more to come! Beautiful custom artwork created by one of our talented Master Gardener Volunteers will soon be installed around the Tiny Dream House, celebrating the beauty of Florida's native landscape.

Visit the Brevard Discovery Garden on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:00–11:00 a.m. for a Self-Guided Tour and watch the transformation unfold throughout the summer. Every visit will reveal something new!

We hope you'll follow along on this page to see the living classroom take shape—one phase at a time.
