The Richmond Public Library and
the Richmond Virginia Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners are pleased to
announce a new educational opportunity for all Richmond City residents.
The program started last Saturday, May 4 from
10 am – 12 noon and will continue through October 26, 2013 (with the exception
of Holiday week-ends and the month of August), each Saturday you will find one
to two Master gardeners staffing
an information desk on the first floor of the Main library.
The Help Desk offers the community an opportunity to stop by and speak with a

Please stop by and visit with
a question. If an answer cannot be provided that day, it will be emailed to you
