Goochland Powhatan Master Gardeners Hold Garden Fair, Seed Share March 14

The Goochland Powhatan Master Gardeners Association will hold a Garden Fair & Seed Share on Saturday, March 14, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Goochland Sports Complex, 1800 Sandy Hook Road in Goochland, VA 23063, according to a Mastergardener Ext Vt listing that gives the full address and time window. The Virginia Master Gardener program’s biweekly update published Feb. 20, 2026 also lists the event in its community calendar.

GPMGA’s social media promotions describe the March 14 gathering as the “1st Annual” Garden Fair Seed Share. A Facebook post reads, “1st Annual Garden Fair Seed Share Presented by Goochland Powhatan Master Gardeners Association Goochland Sports Complex 1800 Sandy Hook Road,” and an Instagram post fragment supplied by organizers repeats the “1st Annual” phrasing with the March 14 date and a 9:30 a.m. start time.

The event listing also appears in a Prince William County Cooperative Extension announcement that promotes regional programming and repeats the March 14 details. That county announcement includes contact information for Prince William County Master Gardener programming - phone 703-792-7747 and email MasterGardener@pwcgov.org - and promotes its own Gardening Basics webinar series with the line, “Beat the winter blues, join Virginia Cooperative Extension and Master Gardeners for the Gardening Basics Series via Zoom.”

GPMGA’s official website documents broader 2026 programming at the same Goochland Sports Complex, showing organizational capacity beyond the March seed share. The site lists a Spring Garden Fest for Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 1800 Sandy Hook Road and describes the festival as “An Annual GPMGA Festival Event for Garden Lovers.” The Spring Garden Fest page advertises vendor space at $25 for the day, a plant sale offering “a wide variety of perennials, annuals, & natives,” and class registration with the instruction, “CLASS REGISTRATION NOW OPEN CHOOSE 3 Classes for $35! For more details, visit our Registration Page!” The page also highlights “Ask a Master Gardener - Free gardening help/advice,” food trucks, and merchandise vendors.

Regional seed-exchange activity across Virginia appears to be clustered in early 2026. Prince William County’s announcement references other seed events, including a Clarke County “Annual Seed Exchange” on Feb. 7, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Clarke County Ruritan Fairgrounds, 890 W. Main St., Berryville, VA 22611, and the Northern Shenandoah Valley Extension Master Gardeners’ Free Seed Exchange featuring displays on Winter Sowing, Raised Beds and Indoor Hydroponics.

Listings provided for the March 14 Garden Fair & Seed Share do not include a published agenda, admission fee information, or a media contact for GPMGA. The Mastergardener Ext Vt entry remains the most complete schedule-and-location record supplied to date; the Virginia Master Gardener biweekly update on Feb. 20, 2026 also carries the event listing though the venue name was truncated in that excerpt.

GPMGA’s larger Spring Garden Fest at the same venue follows April 25, 2026, and the organization says the 2026 plant list will be available by early April. Residents seeking event confirmation should consult the GPMGA website or the Virginia Master Gardener program calendar for updates to the March 14 Garden Fair & Seed Share.
