Have a garden question? Ask an Orcas Master Gardener

Saturday May 9th at the Market Garden Nursery

||| FROM ORCAS MASTER GARDENERS |||

Do you have a question about your soil, have a problem with your fruit tree, or are thinking about starting a garden?  Is something bugging your plants, or you are curious about identifying a plant or insect?  Master Gardeners will be staffing Ask A Master Gardener events on Orcas to help answer your questions and collect plant problem samples.  Orcas Master Gardeners will be at the Market Garden Nursery Saturday May 9 2026 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.

If you have a plant with a problem or want a plant or insect identified, follow these steps:

• Put your problem plant in a sealed plastic bag, or your insect in a container. Keep it cool.
• Fill out and attach a plant problem or plant/insect identification form. These forms can be found at the Ask A Master Gardener event or on the website: extension.wsu.edu/sanjuan/master-gardeners/ , or
   extension.wsu.edu/sanjuan/master-gardeners-2/ask-a-master-gardener/
• Please note, samples cannot be analyzed without a form. 

Bring your sample to the next Ask A Master Gardener event.

The Master Gardener program is a program of Washington State University Extension. Master Gardeners are university-trained volunteers who empower and sustain diverse communities with relevant, unbiased, research-based horticulture and
