If you have a gardening question about a plant with concerning symptoms, you can submit details and photos using our Ask a Master Gardener Survey. But what if we can't tell what's wrong from your photos? If this is the case, we may ask you to drop off a sample to our office.
We are located on the corner of Crow's Landing and Service Road, so before you make the trip, please watch this video featuring our Master Gardener Program Advisor, (as well as the Home Orchards and Vineyards Systems Advisor for Stanislaus County) Dr. Kari Arnold. She demonstrates how to take a sample that can help us best solve your problem.
Master Gardener Help Desk Hours
Our Master Gardener volunteers work the Help Desk on Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Please feel free to call or stop by.
When Can I Drop Off a Sample?
You can drop off a sample anytime. Leave it with our front office staff. Make sure to fill out a client contact record with your information and details about the problem (unless you've already done so using our online survey).
When Will I Hear Back?
The sample will be reviewed and you'll receive a call or email (if you prefer) from a Master Gardener within 5 business days. When we call, you will see our number - (209) 525-6802. Emails will come from ucmgstanislaus@ucanr.edu
Feel free to call anytime and leave a message to request a call back about a gardening problem. We look forward to helping you!
