HRAREC Buffer/Rain/Sustainable Gardens

Sign in garden states Water Wise Trail

This project of the Master Gardener Water Stewards consists of three Teaching Gardens at the Hampton Roads Agricultural Research and Extension Center (HRAREC), located at 1444 Diamond Springs Rd. The Buffer Garden, Rain Garden, and Sustainable Garden have each been designed to show the public how plants and planting methods can improve water quality and minimize inputs. These gardens are regularly included in tours given by both Virginia Beach Master Gardeners and HRAREC staff.

The gardens are open to the public year-round during daylight hours.
