The Canton Giving Garden
Located behind the Canton Library, the Giving Garden features raised-bed vegetable, herb, and flower boxes, as well as a certified Monarch Waystation. The garden is used to teach various aspects of gardening and to raise awareness of the monarch butterfly. The Giving Garden is an education oriented joint initiative of the Haywood County Public Library, the Haywood County Cooperative Extension Center, and the Master Gardener Volunteer Program.
The garden is generously supported by the Haywood County Friends of the Library and the Haywood County Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Association.
