The Edible Demo Garden at IVC Organic Farm & Garden
The 2100 sq ft Edible Demonstration Garden at Indian Valley Organic Farm and Garden (IVOFG) in Novato was designed and installed by UC Marin Master Gardeners in 2016 and is a hands-on teaching tool for UC MMG and the public.

• Raised Bed Garden
• Straw Bale Garden
• Perennial Garden
• Exotic Spice Garden
• In-Ground Rows & Back 40 Garden
• Fruit Tree Garden
