The Montgomery Botanical Gardens (MBG) at Oak Park are preparing for the spring and summer seasons. Led by Karin Carmichael, a team of Master Gardener Volunteers, including Lynne Kuhlmann, Jane Martin, Nell Copeland, Marie Tomlin, and Cathy Maddox, are planting various plants like Butterfly Bushes, Fountain Grass, and Pineapple Sage. They are also maintaining the garden by removing old plants and deadheading.

Recently, the team welcomed two new members, interns Jane Ficquette and Aiyana Hawkins, who have started assisting with garden tasks. The MBG volunteer program is open to both experienced gardeners and beginners.

Established as a project by the Capital City Master Gardener Association in 2014, MBG provides a community space for both beauty and learning. It offers volunteer opportunities and a chance to learn about gardening.

The gardens are currently vibrant, featuring a variety of colors and plants. The pollinator gardens are especially active, attracting various pollinators. MBG invites the community to visit and enjoy the gardens, whether for walking, sitting, or photography.
