Master Gardener teams educate homeowners on best management practices for a beautiful, healthy and sustainable landscape. This includes a focus on conservation practices to restore and protect our local watersheds, reducing the use of water, fertilizer, herbicides, and pesticides. The Master Gardener teams will evaluate and answer site specific questions regarding your property.
A $10 fee covers the cost of supplies, materials and personalized guide. This program typically runs from April 1 to September 30 each year.
2025 Henrico Junior 4-H Summer Camp
4-H Junior camp provides youth countless opportunities to learn more about themselves, their peers, and the natural world around them. Days are filled with camp classes (archery, kayaking, athletic sports, marine science, challenge course, photography, arts and crafts, and much more!), unstructured recreation and swim time, flag ceremonies, evening programs, and campfires. Our main focus during camp is to help youth develop independence, self-esteem, confidence, interpersonal skills, and other life skills. To attend, youth must turn 9 by 9/30/25 and no older than 14 by 1/1/25. Join us at 4-H Camp!
Food Safety During a Power Outage
Winter storms can cause power outages that disable refrigerators and freezers. If you experience a power outage, keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. A refrigerator will keep food cold for about 4 hours if the door is kept closed. A full freezer will hold its temperature for about 48 hours (24 hours if half-full).
