The WSU Extension Master Gardener Program operates four
demonstration gardens in Kitsap County. If you swing by during the
summer, you will see Master Gardeners busy pruning, mulching,
composting, and gathering overflowing boxes and buckets of
produce, herbs and flowers to bring to food banks throughout the
County. In 2025, the four Demonstration Gardens donated over two
TONS of food to local food banks and community kitchens.
The Master Gardener Foundation proudly funds the four Demonstration Gardens in Kitsap County where you can see all kinds of styles of raised bed and in-ground gardening, irrigation set-ups, and ornamental and edible plant varieties galore.
Anna Smith Children’s Garden in Tracyton is off the beaten trail, but wows when in bloom due to their robust, demonstration compost set-up designed to break down the process for all visitors. You cannot miss a stop at their thriving butterfly house and the pollinator education that delights participants in the Kids Summer Program each year.
Tucked into 7 acres of walking trails in Bremerton is Blueberry Park Learning Garden where the annual Kids Cultivate Summer Program puts on outdoor fun where kids can water, dig and learn about different plants, veggies, and garden creatures. For 2026, the Kids Cultivate Program will be on Wednesdays from 10:30am to 12:00pm, July 8, 15, 22, 29, and August 5.
The Heritage Garden at the Kitsap Fairgrounds serves as the pride and joy of a community project to restore a piece of Kitsap history and showcase organic, edible gardening.
Raab Park Learning Garden feels like a magical fairy garden tucked away in Poulsbo, with fresh herbs, dahlias, and vegetables thriving wherever you look. The garden comes most alive each summer when children fill the garden searching for bugs, digging, and watering during the annual Kids Program. For 2026, the Kids Program will be on Mondays from 10:00am to 12:00pm, June 22 and 29 as well as July 13, 20, and 27.
