We — the writers of The Garden Shed — would like to introduce ourselves and our free online community newsletter. We are members of the Piedmont Master Gardeners, which simply means we have all been trained to share the scientific expertise of Virginia Tech and the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service. More important, we are your friends and neighbors with a passion for gardening – and learning more about it. Each month we will communicate the tasks that we are performing in our ornamental gardens, edible gardens and lawns. Each month’s newsletter will also contain a featured topic, ranging from growing roses to preventing pests and diseases in your vegetable garden, plus a recipe for something fresh from the garden.
