The Lake Jackson Garden Club has formally been
disbanded. We will be hosting one final meeting of the Prince
William Council of Garden Clubs in March. The remainder of our
funds will be donated to the Lake Jackson Citizen's Association for
beautification of common areas around the lake.
There are several garden clubs in Prince William
County if you are interested in joining a club. Most, if
not all, of the ones listed below are part of the
"National Garden Clubs of America" program. It's a great
way to meet new friends, volunteer in our community and learn
about gardening

Additionally, Prince William County has an
active Master Gardener's
Program. The Prince
William County Extension Office trains and
coordinates master gardeners for our county. Master Gardener
volunteers work hand-in-hand with the Environment and Natural
Resources staff at the Extension Office to educate and
assist citizens with lawn and landscape problems.
The Extension Office also has courses (many of
which are free) for the home gardener to learn about good practices
in their gardens and landscapes. In particular, there is a
program called "Great
'Scapes" which for a small fee, will evaluate
your soil and make recommendations on lawn and landscape
care.
