Newport News Master Gardeners

A site devoted to the gardener in all of us!

Welcome to the Newport News Master Gardeners (NNMG) website!  We are an educational, non profit service organization which renders non-biased, sound horticultural information to the community.  Working with the Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE), our objectives are accomplished through the volunteer efforts of our members.  We are a service organization of trained volunteers.  This website is one of those efforts.  We invite you to learn all about us by exploring the links at the top of this page.
