— from Dianne Macondray for San Juan County Master Gardeners —

On Saturday July 13 the San Juan County Master Gardeners will be at the Farmer’s Market on the Green to answer questions and accept plant samples with problems. 

If your sample is collected early, please refrigerate, in a ziplock plastic bag with a damp paper towel. Fresh samples with leaves, stem, and possibly flowers and fruit will have a greater possibility of diagnosis.  A form found at sanjuan.wsu.edu needs to accompany your sample. 

Master Gardeners will also be at Driftwood Nursery on on Wednesday July 17. from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
