Plant Questions? We Can Help! Call (574) 533-0554 or email [email protected]
The Master Gardeners in Elkhart County operate an Answer Line to assist the gardeners and homeowners of Elkhart County and surrounding areas. We accept questions and concerns about the planting and care of home vegetable, fruit and flower gardens, turf and trees. Issues may include soil, water, insects, diseases. We also address proper use of methods to remediate problems with the issues raised.
Gardener’s concerns can be submitted via phone, email or personal visit to the Purdue Extension Office. Once submitted the issue will be assigned to the Master Gardener volunteering at that time. The Master Gardener will contact the client for more information, if required, and subsequently with advice in dealing with the issue.
