What's going on?
Valley View Farms has scheduled seminars to be helpful and fun for our community. In addition to our classes, we have many informative handouts, plant diagnostic services, water testing for ponds, and extraordinary signage on all of our plants. Most important, we have friendly, knowledgeable personnel to assist in any way we can.
* This year we will be donating $5.00 for every project created in our workshops to the WBAL Kids Campaign.
