The Teaching Garden at the Benedictine Monastery 9535 Linton Hall Road, Bristow VA 20136

The Teaching Garden is a project of the Master Gardener Volunteers. It began as a garden to grow fresh produce for the Plant a Row for the Hungry project and a place where Master Gardeners could teach homeowners how to grow vegetables. The Teaching Garden displays low maintenance gardening techniques that homeowners can implement in their own gardens. It also features plant material that grows well locally. 

Master Gardeners are at the Teaching Garden every Tuesday morning, Thursday evening and on some weekends from March through October.  If you'd like to schedule a visit with a Master Gardener, please email [email protected].  During the growing season, April through October we offer short classes each month, "Saturday in the Garden".  These classes provide information on a wide variety of topics such as turf maintenance, vegetables, ornamentals, pests and diseases, and wildlife.  Periodically, we will also offer a special class for children.   You can view a map of the Teaching Garden bed layout here.   View upcoming events at the Garden here as well as other horticulture classes offered by the Master Gardeners
