Welcome Garden Walkthrough

August 18, 2020 by Zachary Schnepp

Located alongside the Visitor Center, the Welcome Garden is a great example of the partnership Allerton has with the University of Illinois Extension‘s Piatt County Master Gardner program.

Over the years, Master Gardener volunteers have planned, installed, and visited regularly to maintain several themed garden spaces within the Welcome Garden. Here you will find a rain garden, a pollinator pocket garden, an Illinois native plant species garden, as well as a sensory garden. Next time you’re at the Park, take a stroll through the Welcome Garden to see what’s blooming in each space!

If you would like more information about how to get involved with the Master Gardner program please visit here.

Allerton is also always looking for volunteers interested in helping maintain several gardens around the Park! For more information visit here.
