The Backyard Gardeners, Inc. was established in 2007 as a non-profit organization to provide free education to homeowners in the Hampton Roads area on gardening and horticultural practices, designs and techniques in order to encourage conservation of our natural resources, the enjoyment of gardens, garden-related actvities and creative garden art.  We offer training on gardening topics and share hands-on experience for everyday gardeners in our area.  Along with sharing this information with the public, members of The Backyard Gardeners continue to attend seminars and workshops to expand our knowledge and remain up-to-date with the latest trends and practices in the world of horticulture.

The Backyard Gardeners, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization with 501(c)(3) status.  All contributions to the organization are tax deductible.
