Plant Clinic – Wishkah Valley School

The WSU Master Gardeners of Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties are hosting a Plant Clinic at Wishkah Valley Elementary/High School, on Sunday, October 27th, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm as part of their Cheerleader Fundraiser. This will be a great opportunity to get your plant questions answered. This is a once-a-year event at Wishkah Valley School.

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:

• The type of damage are you seeing and when it start
• The parts of the plant that are affected: flower, leaf, stem, fruit, etc.
• How is the plant watered and the amount and frequency of watering
• The location of the plant ; in a garden bed or in the lawn, next to a driveway or house, in full or part sun, the direction the plant faces, etc.

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