After much thought and planning, Rensselaer County Master Gardeners, lead by David Chinery, have created a one of a kind demonstration garden at the Robert C. Parker School on Route 43 in the town of Sand Lake.  The private elementary school graciously donated a piece of land for the Master Gardeners to use. The school invites everyone to visit the gardens at their leisure.  

If you are interested in the Master Gardener program, please contact David Chinery at 518-272-4210 to see how you too can become a member.
