Be sure to wander over to the northeast corner of our JCMGA gardens to see the wonderful Wanda Hauser Demonstration Garden.  Tucked in next to the blue shed, it has been lovingly cared for by a great crew this year, under the watchful eye of Garden Gem Marcie Katz.

Wanda Hauser was an employee of Oregon State University and retired from the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station in Medford. Yes, she worked here! Developed in 1962, the Heritage Garden was the first of the demonstration gardens and was established in honor of our early pioneers … and in honor of Wanda. It is filled with medicinal plants.  To guide your garden wander, informative signs provide herb knowledge and helpful insights into these historically beneficial plants. Stop by and enjoy!
