Welcome!
We are Virginia Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Volunteers, dedicated to serving our community through educational, horticultural programs which encourage and promote environmentally sound and sustainable landscape management practices to all who Newport News their home.
2019 Master Gardener classes are now closed and we are no longer accepting applications for this year. Go to the About Us page for more information on becoming a Master Gardener.
Visit our Grin and Grow Learning Garden page! The garden itself is located at the Riverview Farms Park in the Menchville area and features educational, horticultural opportunities and activities for children of all ages.
Our Calendar of Events page features up-coming events that we sponsor. This page will be constantly updated, so visit it often. Don't forget to register for our Vermiculture and Rain Barrel Workshops!
One of the more comprehensive features of this site is a Monthly Garden Tips page that includes gardening tips by the month.
Visit our Resources page. There you will find links and articles every gardener can use. You will also find helpful garden tips and possible answers to your questions. Also view the new USDA Plant Hardiness Map. Our "zone" has changed!
