Goochland-Powhatan
Master Gardeners Association
We are Master Gardener Volunteers who have received specialized training in environmental horticulture through and on behalf of the Virginia Cooperative Extension. They serve as a link between land-grant universities, Virginia Tech and Virginia State University, and the people of the commonwealth. As master gardener volunteer educators, we take an active interest in the growth and maintenance of trees, shrubs, flowers, lawns, and gardens.
