VT KTU April 7th- "Grow Your Own at Home"

The New River Valley Master Gardener Association's booth will have information and hands-on projects which show how you can grow your own food at home. Students will learn about worm composting (vermicomposting), beneficial insects, and the way they help the home gardener. There will be some hands-on projects that students can work on and they will be able to investigate a real worm compost bin.

The mission of the NRVMGA is to provide service to the community by promoting good horticultural practices in accordance with standards approved by the Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) and its Master Gardener program and to foster communication, education, and fellowship among its members. We do this through service projects to the community as well as fielding queries through the VCE office and booths at local events.
