Welcome to the Farmer's Market Tree Trail hosted by the Virginia Beach Master Gardener Tree Stewards. This is a multi-phase project to increase public awareness of trees – their value to the community and ecosystem, their selection, planting and care. Our initial selection of trees looks at those mature species planted at the perimeter of the market, and represent a variety of those that might be selected for your home or property. The walking map below identifies their locations, with the arrow indicating the location of a placard that has the common and scientific name. For those that want to dive deeper, a QR code on the placard will take you to our website to access extensive tree information from Virginia Tech and North Carolina State websites. The map also shows where additional trees of the same species are planted, allowing you to compare the same tree growing under different environmental conditions. This tour is normally self-guided, and a tour narrative is available at the website (follow the QR code). Additionally, during special events at the market we will host guided tours, the details of which will be advertised ahead of time. Thank you for joining us, and we welcome your questions and feedback.
