GREAT NEWS! WE ARE OPEN

We will slowly begin to take in-person appointments with a number of restrictions. Some of our faculty and staff are preparing to serve you in-person by appointment beginning the week of July 27. We will have a different protocol than before so it is vital that you call us at (301) 791-1404 to make an appointment and get instructions for your visit.

A mask will be required to meet with any member of our team. As always, we are available now to assist you via phone, email, and video conferencing. As a reminder, face-to-face educational events, including 4-H and Master Gardeners, have been postponed through July 31st.
