There’s Something for Everyone at Jennings
Today was my first day volunteering at Jennings – one of the Snohomish County Master Gardener demonstration gardens. As an Intern Master Gardener I will complete 16 hours of volunteer time in this garden. If it was closer to my house I’d be there all the time – it’s that amazing.
Not only are the garden “rooms” unique and charming, but they includes space saving techniques like vertical gardening, straw bale gardening and stacked raised beds. It was hard to catch the charm in photos, but I still wanted to share a slideshow of the different gardens, trellises, arbors, pathways and plants.

The Jennings demo garden is located at 6915 Armar Road in Marysville and is open to the public. Master Gardener volunteers will be on site to answer questions every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 9-1 (May – September). It’s well worth the trip.
