The Extension Master Gardener℠ Association of Cleveland County is raising funds to create a demonstration & teaching garden that will provide a beautiful community gathering space for people to learn and be physically active. The public space will support continuing horticultural education, positive social engagement and quiet reflection.
The garden will be dedicated to the memory of Dotty Ruth Leatherwood. Well-known and respected for her career in healthcare and her dedication to community service, Dotty was instrumental in launching Cleveland County’s Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program℠ and served as the Association’s first president.
Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteers will utilize the space to further hone their gardening skills and share that knowledge with the public through workshops, demonstrations and guided garden tours, giving visitors inspiration for enhancing their home landscapes. The garden will be wheelchair accessible and designed to facilitate therapeutic horticulture activities.
Signage will identify plants selected to thrive in our region, including many of Dotty’s favorite trees, shrubs, blooming perennials, vines and grasses. It will showcase native and deer resistant plants and those that attract pollinators.
The garden will include many special features, including:
- A designated entry
- ADA-compliant paved pathways
- Cobblestone seating areas
- A recirculating manmade water feature resembling a mountain stream
- Hardscape to include boulders & garden art
- Perennial & annual plant beds
- Specimen trees
- A rustic shed to house gardening tools & supplies
- Raised beds to facilitate wheelchair access
