The WSU Extension Clallam County Master Gardeners weekly plant answer clinics begin in Port Angeles on Monday, March 13.

The clinics will be held from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. each Monday (except for holidays) through Oct. 16 in the lobby of the old Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St. in Port Angeles.

Saturday plant answer clinics in Sequim will start on May 20 at the Woodcock Demonstration Garden, 2711 Woodcock Road, Sequim.

Plant answer clinics are offered to the public to help in answering gardening questions and solving insect and plant disease problems in home landscapes and gardens. Local Master Gardener volunteers will be on hand to identify plants, address plant and pest problems and to help clients find research-based information for their gardens.

The clinics are free and open to home gardeners. No appointments are necessary. People with questions are asked to bring in bagged samples of healthy and damaged areas of plants, including stem, leaves, flowers, fruits or cones and living specimens of garden pests.

Clallam County Master Gardeners, a cooperative program between Washington State University and Clallam County, provides up-to-date information on sustainable gardening practices.

Master Gardener volunteers also address environmental and social priorities such as water conservation, the protection of water quality, reducing the impact of invasive species and healthy living through gardening.
