||| FOM DIANNE MACONDRAY for SJC MASTER GARDENERS |||

As we welcome spring with days spent in our gardens, we have high hopes of success. However, sometimes the weather, insects, disease, or our garden practices betray our dedication. The Master Gardeners of San Juan County are here to help with science based answers to your plant questions. There will be a Plant Answer Clinic outside the Orcas Island Library entrance, Wednesday, April 17th from 12 noon to 2pm.

Please bring us your plant questions by visiting us or by submitting actual samples of affected plants by doing the following.

  • Share information about the problem by scrolling down to locate the plant problem or insect ID forms at https://extension.wsu.edu/sanjuan/master-gardeners
  • Place a large sample of your plant that includes both affected and healthy parts in a Ziplock bag.
  • Bring your sample and form to the library on the day/time of the Plant Answer Clinic or drop it off at the front desk of the Orcas Library by noon on that Wednesday. We will get back to you by the end of the week.

Happy Gardening!
