We have received some very good news from the Master Gardeners working in the Yaphank Historical Society gardens.

Two Yaphank Historical Society (YHS) garden sites have recently been named “Approved Sites” by the Suffolk County Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) for the Master Gardener Program. The YHS sites are the Butterfly Garden at the Swezey Avey House and the gardens at the Robert and Isabella Hawkins House.

Master Gardeners are required to do volunteer work through teaching, answering questions and working on community and demonstration gardens. The gardens the Master Gardeners work on must be sites approved by Suffolk County CCE.

Three Master Gardeners currently work at the YHS sites. Gaining this approval has taken several years. We are at the gardens Monday mornings from 9-11 am. Please stop by to ask any garden questions. We love to talk about gardens!
