“Ask a Master Gardener” clinics at Jefferson County Library

ASK A MASTER GARDENER!

Master Gardener volunteers are trained para-professionals who will work with you to find information that is research-based and focused on environmentally friendly gardening practices.

For plant problem diagnosis bring a sample that clearly shows the un-healthy 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 clinic.

For plant identification For plant identification we need a live 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 we need the insect intact and brought into us in a small container soon after capture.

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