Deerfield Area Historic Village Gardens
Join us for a morning of local history and plant knowledge! In partnership with the Deerfield Area Historical Society (DAHS), Lake County Extension Master Gardeners have helped to establish and maintain multiple gardens in and around the village's five historic buildings, which date from the mid-1830's and include the oldest log house in Lake County. Vegetable and native plant gardens are supplemented by a small orchard that features three, semi-dwarf heirloom apple trees. Potato barrels and native black currant shrubs are also featured.
Extension is celebrating 40 years of the Master Gardener program in Lake County! From food pantries to pollinators, Master Gardeners have been serving Lake County in many ways since 1986. To commemorate this milestone, we are hosting a series of public tours of Master Gardener project sites around Lake County that showcase the public service and outreach provided by Master Gardener volunteers.
