Many of us will be spending more time in our gardens as we stay home to stay safe during the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Our gardens will continue to grow and we will continue to have gardening questions.
To answer those questions, Extension Master Gardener volunteers of Buncombe County will be working from home to keep the Garden Helpline open to the public. They are available to respond to your phone calls and emails. Send an email or leave a voice message at any time and a Master Gardener will respond during the Helpline hours listed below.
The information they provide 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 828-250-4878, and by email at [email protected].
Garden Helpline Hours
Mondays and Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Fridays, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
During this critical health crisis, the Extension office is closed and all Master Gardener programs for the public are canceled or postponed. To learn more about Extension Master Gardener volunteers and gardening in Buncombe County, visit buncombemastergardener.org.
