Virginia Living Museum

Pollinate the Future!

This year, we’re calling on our community to help us “Pollinate the Future” at the Virginia Living Museum!

Your support will directly fund the revitalization of three beloved garden spaces:

• Children’s Sensory Garden – A multi-sensory experience with fresh signage, interactive elements, and a vertical herb garden.

• Colonial Garden – A working kitchen garden showcasing how to grow your own food sustainably.

• Fairy Garden – A refreshed, whimsical space with new borders, evergreen plants, and interactive features.

With your generosity, we can create vibrant, hands-on learning environments where guests of all ages can connect with nature in meaningful ways.

How You Can Help: Donate to support these garden transformations. Share our campaign to spread the word. Visit the museum and see your impact firsthand!

Who We Are

The Virginia Living Museum is a successful public-private partnership, since 1966, between the City of Newport News and the Virginia Living Museum, a 501 (c)(3) organization. Together we connect people to nature through educational experiences that promote conservation.
BUILT by the Community, BELOVED by the Community and SUSTAINED by the Community, the Museum depends on private donations to succeed. We appreciate your financial contribution to support engaging education, animal welfare and conservation experiences for you and your family. Please consider a gift to our Annual Fund or a planned gift to our Endowment for future sustainability.
