If you have questions about the Extension Master Gardener program, you can email us at nsvmganews@gmail.com 

If you have questions about garden related issues, call or email your local county help lines, listed below.

The Northern Shenandoah Valley Master Gardener Association offers free help to area homeowners through our “Ask a Master Gardener” Help Desks. Contact the volunteers in any of our five counties and they will research and answer your gardening-related questions. You can show us pictures to help with identifying plants and diagnosing plant diseases and/or pests. Master Gardener volunteers will share the latest research-based care advice for lawns, trees, shrubs, and vegetables, as well as promote safe use of pesticides and fertilizers to help protect water quality and the environment.
