Dinwiddie Master Gardeners
In 2006, the Dinwiddie Master Gardener Program was revitalized to help support the Extension Office with Urban Horticulture Questions and Programs. Each year, the Master Gardener Classes start at the beginning of February. The Dinwiddie Master Gardeners assist the Agriculture and Natural Resources Agent with Horticulture projects, including the County Rain Garden, School Projects, Urban Farm Day, Community Educational Displays, Educational Presentations & Displays, and Landscaping projects. Currently the Dinwiddie Extension Office has 16 active Master Gardener Volunteers, who give an average each year 30 to 50 hours of volunteer time assisting Home, Garden and Landscape questions.
