Over the last few years , the Master Gardeners in our county have been animate the gardens around our fairground . Each year , they change up some of them , making them an educational attraction to the public visiting during the bazaar . This year they added a rain garden in a previously miry sphere . It worked perfectly , as we daily empty out a large livestock storage tank full of body of water used for swimming ducklings . The rain garden absorb it , all the while looking beautiful . At the entering to the livestock barns was a small garden full of flowers that light up at Nox with ability from a small solar courser . To inspire those with excess low horticulture areas , a garden was created particularly for the pollinator and others . I wonder what the Master Gardeners will plan for next class !
