McDaniel Farm Park Project Gwinnett County Master Gardeners work with Gwinnett Parks & Rec and the Environmental Heritage Center every year to plan, plant and maintain the circa 1930 demonstration gardens, Farm House grounds and the orchards of the homestead at McDaniel Farm Park.

This is also the location of the June MG meeting where we will be holding our annual picnic.  Show up early to visit the gardens before dinner. Related Images:
