The WSU Extension Clallam County Master Gardeners plant answer clinics are getting back to normal in Port Angeles on March 28.

The clinics will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Mondays (except for holidays) through October 17 in the lobby of the old Clallam County Courthouse, located at 223 E. 4th Street in Port Angeles. Members of the public are also welcome to submit questions online by emailing mgplantclinic.clallam@gmail.com

Plant answer clinics are offered to the public to help in answering gardening questions and solving insect and plant disease problems in home landscapes and gardens. Local Master Gardener volunteers will be on hand to identify plants, address plant and pest problems and to help clients find research-based information on garden topics.

The clinics are free and open to home gardeners. No appointments are necessary, but we recommend participants wear masks and follow social distancing recommendations while in the Clallam County Courthouse. People with questions are asked to bring in bagged samples of healthy and damaged areas of plants, including stem, leaves, flowers, fruits or cones, and living specimens of garden pests. Emails should include detailed pictures when necessary.

In person plant clinics will also be held in conjunction with Digging Deeper workshops held on select Saturdays at the Woodcock Demonstration Garden, located at 2711 Woodcock Road in Sequim. See our online calendar for dates https://extension.wsu.edu/clallam/events/.

Clallam County Master Gardeners, a cooperative program between Washington State University and Clallam County, provides up-to-date information on sustainable gardening practices. Master Gardener volunteers also address environmental and social priorities such as water conservation, the protection of water quality, reducing the impact of invasive species and healthy living through gardening.

Reasonable accommodations will be made for persons with disabilities and special needs; a good faith effort will be made to provide accommodations up until the time of the event. Extension programs are available to all without discrimination. Evidence of noncompliance may be reported through your local office.
