Previous Edition Questions

The exam database was revised in 1998 by two Master Gardeners in Albemarle County, Vicki Friend and Lisa Workman. The questions were updated in 2002 with help from Chuck Walters and the Northern Shenandoah Valley MGs. There are two types of files. One file contains the questions and the second file contains questions and answers.
