Garden Helpline
Have a Gardening Question?
Ask an Extension Master Gardener!
We're here to help! The UVM Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Helpline serves Vermont residents by providing science-based information about home horticulture issues and integrated pest management (IPM). Extension Master Gardener Volunteers do NOT provide personal site visits to home gardens. Volunteers are also limited on the pesticides they are allowed to recommend, as they are not licensed pesticide applicators.
Note for Commercial Growers: You should visit the Plant Diagnostic Clinic — do NOT submit your question using the form below.
