The GPMGA Spring Gardenfest is a free, family-friendly event that celebrates all things related to gardening, hosted by the Goochland-Powhatan Master Gardeners Association. Wild Ones Greater Richmond Virginia Chapter is proud to be among the informational exhibitors.

Attending the educational programs requires a paid registration--and registration closes on April 14. To register, see the link below.
