MISSION STATEMENT
Master Gardeners are committed
to learning and to communicating their knowledge of gardening to others.
Master Gardeners will direct their efforts to creating and maintaining an
awareness of the need for intelligent stewardship of the environment.
Announcements:
- First Annual NRVMG Plant Sale
Saturday May 5th 10am - 4pm Extension Office
Please Email Gwen Ewing recycle.compost@gmail.com with a
list of what you are going to bring (helps on organizing items for sale). Start dividing and potting up now.
We suspect “new and unusual” will sell better than ordinary, but ordinary at decent prices should sell too.
Do not be shy! Someone might like what you have!
