Gardens on Green

Gardens on Green Educational gardens open to the public. Project of Hall County Schools and Hall County Master Gardeners. As an idea,”Gardens on Green” was planted in 2007.

The first of its gardens, the Garden of Winners, was planted in 2008, and six additional gardens have been added since. This continued growth has been nurtured through the generosity of grants, donations, and a volunteer spirit. A joint project of Hall County Master Gardeners and the Hall County School System, the Gardens have transformed a once unnoticed space into a place for education and enjo

yment. The main goal is to provide a place not only for growing plants, but for “growing good kids,” for growing the human spirit, and ultimately for growing a better community. Scheduled classes and tours for children and adults provide such opportunities, including those for Junior Master Gardeners, Scouts, after-school groups, school classes, and any group requesting a visit. The Gardens currently include the following:
* Children’s Vegetable Garden
A place for learning to know and grow what we eat.
*A Native Garden – Plants native to North Georgia.
*A Garden of Winners – Award winning plants
*Certified Pollinator Garden – Butterflies, hummingbirds
*Conifer Garden – Display of much diversity
*Deer Resistant Garden – Not deer proof!
*Literacy Garden
A place for young children to Read, Discover, and Grow.

What fun we had at our last 2025 summer storytime learning all about birds. Thanks to Hall County Master Gardeners and Hall County School District for making these magical garden moments possible!

Here are some live feed videos recorded in 2024 at Martin Technology Academy when robins made a nest on a shelf outside the library. We wanted to share them online since some folks left early because of the rain shower today. https://youtube.com/?si=YLTd9KIzkpCc_4aw

Remember you all can be citizen scientists if you notice the world around you!

Allie Millington filled the garden with HOPE today as she shared her new picture book When You Find a Hope. We learned all about seeds, created our own seed garden in a glove, made seed art, tasted seed trail mix, and wrote down our hopes on seed paper to plant. We can’t thank Allie enough for visiting the garden. 🪴

Sunflowers in the Garden! 🌻 It was another perfect morning in the garden. We read stories, created sunflower collages, planted sunflowers to take home, tasted sunflower seeds, dead-headed daisies, checked on beans growing in the garden, and picked a few more blueberries.

We apologize that lunches were not offered this week with its being 4th of July week. Lunches and the Reading Rocket will be back next week, July 9, as we learn about vegetables.
