Fluvanna Master Gardeners
Have you been to the Butterfly Garden at Pleasant Grove lately?? Thanks to really dedicated volunteers, i t has never looked better and is full of bee and butterfly activity right now. Stop by when you have a chance and check it out!
*****************
The Master Gardener Horticultural Help Desk for 2022 is now open! Bring your questions to us at the Fluvanna Public Library beginning today, Tuesday April 5 from 2-5 pm. We will be available at the library every Tuesday until the end of October. You can also contact us through our website www.fluvannamg.org We are ready to help you with your gardening questions!
*****************
Rivanna Master Naturalists
August 6: Did someone say eat? Let’s hike the Quail Meadow Trail and see what the animals are finding to eat. Meet at 10am. Park where the road to the soccer field turns to gravel and the kiosk tells you this is the place. We will look at various sources of food, as well as see how the controlled burn is growing back.
September 3: Meet at the first picnic shelter below the Dog Park at 10am to walk the ADA friendly trail to the Sandy Beach and return via the Princess Anne trail along the Rivanna. During the hike you will observe the Honey Locust whose spikes were used as sewing needles by native Americans and early European settlers. You will also see “Horse Apple” trees that were used as pasture fencing before the invention of barbed wire. You will see the results of efforts of our Pleasant Grove volunteers and Parks and Rec to remove the alien Ailanthus trees from the park to help prevent the spread of the invasive spotted lantern fly, a serious threat to our vineyards and other fruit crops. * If you want to loiter at Sandy Beach for a quick dip, you are welcome to enjoy the park there.
*During these hikes we will also discuss the newest invasive pest, the spotted lantern fly, to come to our area from overseas, the invasive host tree, the Tree-of-Heaven, and the possible devastation this insect threatens to our fruit (grapes, etc.) crops here in the Virginia Piedmont.
Children MUST be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.
Monthly Hikes on the 1st Saturday of the month. See Calendar for details.

JABA recognizes there is a digital divide between those who have ready access to computers and the internet, and those who do not. This divide also refers to the low technology literacy so common in older adults. People without access to or familiarity with the Internet and other information technologies are at a disadvantage, as they are unable or less able to obtain needed information, shop online, participate in democracy, or access medical care.
Enclosed is a link to a survey aimed at helping us better understand the capabilities and needs in regards to training and access to technology and the internet. I invite you to take the questionnaire as well as share it with program participants, friends, family, social media, etc. so that we can get a broad understanding of our communities.
We appreciate your support. Paper version can be mailed to JABA 674 Hillsdale Dr Suite 9 Charlottesville Va 22901
