What Do Rockbridge Master Gardeners Do?

 

As a public service to Rockbridge County, Master Gardeners assist the Virginia Cooperative Extension agent in educating and informing the public.  They accomplish these goals in a number of ways.

​

• Answer questions and volunteer solutions to common gardening and landscaping problems through the Extension Office and though Master Gardener run Plant Clinics.​

• Hold an annual plant sale where plants, small trees, shrubs and a variety of garden

items are sold, many of which are provided by Master Gardeners. These sales

provide funding for the many MG projects.​

• Organize and administer the horticulture showings at the Rockbridge Regional Fair.       ​

• Staff a booth at the Rockbridge Community Festival.​

• Write articles for the local newspapers.

• Teach children at Rockbridge area schools with both classroom instruction and

        demonstration gardens.​

• Work on a team to plan and implement public gardens as models of design and

        content.​

• Sponsor public programs on gardening topics.
