Extension Master Gardener Program

Welcome!

Whether you've been gardening for years or you're just starting out, the Extension Master Gardener program is for you!

You can find a team of local Extension Master Gardeners (EMGs) in almost every county in Virginia who are eager to offer advice, education, and resources. Reach your local EMGs via your VCE office or by searching online or on Facebook.

If you're as passionate about gardening education as we are, we invite you to join us by becoming an Extension Master Gardener.
