Volunteer Display Gardens
The Volunteer Display Gardens are public gardens located on the grounds of WSU NWREC. They are open to visitors year round, from dawn to dusk. The gardens occupy about 10 acres of land, and are maintained by volunteers from several western Washington gardening groups including:
- WSU Master Gardeners Discovery Garden

The purpose of the Garden is to provide educational opportunities for the public through viewing and hands-on gardening experiences.
