‘Ask a Master Gardener’ clinic at Port Townsend Library

Master Gardeners are pleased to work with you on your garden-related questions!

For plant problem diagnosis bring a sample that clearly shows the difference between unhealthy and healthy tissue. Pick a fresh plant specimen, put the cut end of the stem in a moist paper towel, and then come to the Ask a Master Gardener workshop.

For plant identification bring a sample or picture that includes leaves, branches, stems, a portion of the fruiting or flowering structure (if available), and a picture of the stem or bark.

For insect identification bring the insect intact in a small container soon after capture.

Note: Master Gardeners need a fresh specimen to make an accurate identification or assessment of the issue.
