ANNOUNCEMENT

Are you interested in improving the lawn on your property? Would you like to learn more about how to grow and care for the grass around your home? Want helpful resources related to turf and landscaping?  If so, the Healthy Virginia Lawns Program is for you! 

You can submit an application for a site visit from Piedmont Master Gardener (PMG) volunteers, who work under the guidance of Virginia Cooperative Extension at Virginia Tech. Volunteers will visit your property, take soil samples, measure your lawn areas, and provide practical suggestions. The soil testing lab at Virginia Tech will analyze your soil samples, and PMG will prepare a customized Nutrient Management Plan for the care of your lawn. The goal of the HVL program is to answer your lawn and landscape questions and provide you with science-based information to help improve the health of your lawn. To schedule a site visit, please complete the application offered on our website and return it to the PMG office (electronic delivery preferred). 

For comments, questions or suggested topics for future Garden Shed articles contact us at: garden-shed@piedmontmastergardeners.org and add us to your address book.

If you have specific gardening questions or need help to solve a gardening problem, our Horticultural Help Desk is a free community resource and can be contacted at 434-872-4583 or by email: albemarlevcehelpdesk@gmail.com.
