NNMG has been a cornerstone of education and conservation since 1989. In 2025, NNMG volunteers donated over 15,000 hours of service across Lancaster, Northumberland, Westmoreland, Richmond and Essex counties, Beane said. Its mission is to provide research-based horticultural information and educational programs to the residents of the Northern Neck through community outreach, youth projects and environmental stewardship. Their work includes managing demonstration gardens, conducting horticultural therapy for seniors and providing science-based information through help desks, shoreline evaluations and plant clinics.
The Bloom & Grow and Plant Sale Festival is an opportunity to share that knowledge while providing the public with high-quality plants and a festive afternoon for all ages.
