A smiling master gardener volunteer sits at an L shaped desk. She is facing the camera, reference material on the desk surface between her and the viewer. To the viewer's right, there is a computer with two monitors. Behind the master gardener, there is a shelf of reference material.

For more than a half century, home gardeners have been bringing us their questions and issues. We have University trained volunteers who can help you tackle those intractable problems! Our diagnostic team specializes in pinpointing issues with plants and pests, offering free research-based advice on effective management strategies for both the pests and the overall health of gardens and landscapes.
