Ask Us a Question
Do you have a qardening question? You may email it to us and we will refer it to the Diagnosis Clinic for a short reply. The Diagnosis clinic is open Wednesday 1 - 4 pm year-round, and also on Mondays, April through mid-October.
Please contact our coordinator for speakers or events or non-plant questions.
You may email your gardening question to ChelanMasterGardeners@gmail.com. We are required to request contact data to better identify our service base, so please include your name, city, and gender. Please include your phone number if we may contact you during our clinic hours.
State your question concisely and include as much information as possible. That may include the plant name, age, growing conditions, and symptoms.
Some questions are more complex than others and are better addressed in a discussion and with a sample of the plant. We may recommend you call or visit us during clinic hours.
