Fall is a great time to visit demonstration garden
KENNEWICK -- A couple of weeks ago, I ran into someone who had been in our local Master Gardener program 30 years ago -- long before the Master Gardener Demonstration Garden in Kennewick was started.
Her recent visit to the demonstration garden was her first. She was astounded to see what the dedication and time of many Master Gardener volunteers had accomplished during the past 11 years.

For several years, a group of people has been working to establish a native plant garden in Leslie Grove Park North. Plants and seeds have been purchased, using grants and donations from interested people. REI made it possible to install an information board along the walking path so people would be aware of the goals for this plot of land. Numerous people have spent hundreds of hours controlling the weeds and tending the native plants.
We recently discovered that someone had driven across the cement barrier, entered the garden and continued to drive the entire length, plowing up the sand when turning to drive back out. In doing so they caused considerable damage.
This isn't the first act of vandalism. People have driven through before. Others have dumped rotting grass clippings and leaves over the bank. The city installed logs along two sides of the garden and low concrete barriers near the walkway hoping to end the problems.
