All About Hafley Park
Come visit Hafley Park, our Teaching Garden. Hafley Park is located at 1527 Sunshine Ave, right off Houston Lake Road here in Perry.
The garden is used to grow vegetables and serve as an idea generator for homeowners. When the weather permits, our "Gardening with the Masters" homeowner classes are taught here. Along with turf plots and a pollinator meadow with fruit trees, it also has a butterfly rock, shade, native gardens, and opportunities to explore and see beautiful flowers during the spring and summer months.
For a little more information and pictures of Hafley Park, please click on 'Agriculture and Natural Resources' and then select 'Homeowners' from the sidebar menu.
