Have a garden question? Ask an Orcas Master Gardener

Now at the Market Garden Nursery

||| FROM JULIA TURNEY and JAY LUCAS for 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 Wednesday July 9, 2025.

• 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. 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 environmental stewardship education.
