Within our new normal, there are so many changes to the ways we go about our daily routines. One thing that hasn’t changed is our dedication to helping you with your gardening & landscaping questions, and that’s why we’re happy to share a new way for you to reach us through our Master Gardeners Virtual Help Desk. 

Simply email your questions to vce@chesterfield.gov and we’ll assign a Master Gardener to assist you. If needed, you may attach photos or a short video to illustrate your question. For guidance on submitting a picture click here. Our Master Gardeners will respond, and we’ll either call (if you choose to provide a phone number) or email you with our response.

If you have a flock of backyard chickens or thinking about getting some we can help. Submit you question to out help desk and our 4H technician can help find you an answer.
