The planting season is getting closer, and Master Gardeners are available to answer questions about lawns, vegetables, flowers, trees and ornamental plants; disease, insect, weed or wildlife problems; soils (including soil test results) and fertilizers; freeze and frost damage; and cultural and chemical solutions to pest problems.
Email HaywoodEMGV@gmail.com with a detailed description of the problem, plant, or insect. Send clear digital photos if possible, or people can call 828.456.3575 and describe their home gardening issue to the receptionist. Either way, a Haywood County Master Gardener Volunteer will reach out within a few days with research-based information.
People can also drop by the Extension office on Raccoon Road in Waynesville; the on-site clinic is staffed Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons.
