NC State Extension Master Gardeners volunteers are here to help with your gardening questions!
You may send an email or leave a voicemail at any time and an Extension Master Gardener volunteer will respond during Garden Helpline hours. When emailing, please include a photo if it helps describe your garden question. Soil test kits can be picked up at the Extension office, 24/7, located at 49 Mt. Carmel Road. The kits are located in a box outside the front door.
The information provided by volunteers is consistent with NC State University horticultural research and an integrated pest management approach which includes cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical methods.
The two ways to contact the Garden Helpline are: by phone at 828-255-5522, and by email at [email protected].
