Ask a Master Gardener

Getting help is easy!  Suffolk EMGs can be found at our office, on Facebook, by phone, email, and at various Suffolk farmers markets.  Take advantage of our Ask a Master Gardener program, where you can contact us from the comfort of your own home!  To submit a question, email us at SuffolkMG@gmail.com or call us at 757-514-4335.  When emailing, attach pictures of the plant, pest, or problem and provide a detailed description.  This will allow us to serve you.  A Suffolk EMG volunteer will respond in a timely manner.  Beginning in 2024, volunteers will be providing monthly office hours. Stop by our Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) classroom and obtain research-based assistance with your gardening questions and concerns.

You've got the plant list marked: drive.google.com/file/d/1HztJseXA8MoVPiUGhIQA4HpGRZPdidr8/view?usp=drive_link.
You have your wagon loaded.
You know where you're parking.
You've checked out Suffolk Earth and Arts Festival's vendors to see all the other amazing booths to visit.

Now you also get to prepare for planting all the plants you're bringing home AND the seed you're getting!

Thanks to the generosity of so many community swappers, we have a lot of seed left over from our seed swap in February, so we're sharing it at the plant sale.
Stop by the Ask a Master Gardener Booth and help yourself to leftover vegetable and flower seed donated by participants at the swap! You can also "check out" seed from our traveling seed library, making its debut at the event.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow at the Suffolk Master Gardener Plant Sale at the Earth and Arts Festival, from 10 - 4, next to the Mod Olive.
