Plant Clinic – Ilwaco

The Master Gardeners of Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties will be hosting a Plant Clinic on Saturday, September 24, 10 am to 2 pm at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum. And while you’re there, please visit our Demonstration Garden with native plants and our raised beds!

Common questions for the Master Gardener volunteers are:

• What plants grow best in the Pacific Northwest?
• What can I grow in the maritime environment?
• How can I test my soil?
• What will I have problems growing where I live?

To help us better diagnose a plant problem, please try to share as much of the following information as possible:

• What type of damage are you seeing and when did it start?
• Which parts of the plant are affected: flower, leaf, stem, fruit, etc.?
• How is the plant watered and how much?
• Where is the plant located; in a garden bed or in the lawn, next to a driveway or house, in full or part sun, facing what direction?

Sharing photographs of your plant problem, plant identification or insect identification is helpful. Please bring a sample if you can. To learn about preparing samples for diagnosis, please see Preparing Your Specimens for the Plant Clinic.
