Across the trail from the Vegetable Garden is the Demonstration Flower Garden, which has four raised beds, each 32 x 4 feet. The flower beds contain many seasonal and perennial flowers such as Mexican Sunflowers, Joe-Pye Weed, Yarrow, Balsam, Guara, Salvias, Firespike, Poppies, Dutchman Pipe Vines, Porcelain Vines and Plumerias (frangipani). This garden is maintained by the Wiregrass Master Gardeners.

The traps of what are considered to be “true” pitcher plants are formed by specialized leaves.
