Have a Gardening Question?
Ask a Master Gardener
Fill out the Ask A Master Gardener online form for your county. You can attach photos and we walk you through all of the information that might be pertinent. A Master Gardener will get back to you, usually within 72 hours! Or, if you prefer, you can call the Master Gardener Hotline in your county to leave a detailed phone message and a Master Gardener will get back to you.
