The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Garden
The STEM Garden incorporates elements of STEM programs including science, technology, engineering, and math for use by students here in Wilson and in surrounding counties.
The Pondside Garden
This small pond is used as a setting for water's-edge, shallow-water plants and hosts a number of fish. Pond construction was accomplished through a “Build a Pond” day hosted by the Wilson County Green Association. The garden is also home to “Dancing Cranes”, a metal sculpture from artist Clifton May.
Turfgrass Plots
The first plantings were Turf Grass demonstration plots which are still one of the most popular features of the WBG. The WBG currently has 5 turf species and a total of a dozen different cultivars.
