    We invite you to visit our demonstration garden at the Kerr County AgriLife Extension Office. The garden was created and is maintained by Hill Country Master Gardeners to feature attractive landscaping with plants that are native or adapted to the Hill Country. The garden also promotes water-efficient landscape design and low maintenance. Five plots of turf grass accompany the beds. 
   The garden is open 9 am to 12 pm and 1 pm to 5 pm Monday through Friday.  A brochure of plant names is available in the office for a self-guided tour, and if there is a Master Gardener available, you can have a personalized tour of the garden.
    The County Extension Office is located at 3655 Highway 27 adjacent to the Hill Country Youth Exhibition Center.  Call 830.257.6568 for more information.
