How to be a Garden Detective?
The biggest challenge for gardeners is correctly diagnosing plant problems
and prescribing effective, safe solutions. The purpose of this seminar is to
help the gardener understand the causes of plant problems; the process for
diagnosing plant problems; and general management techniques and strategies to
employ to help plants overcome problems. The first step is to understand who
or what is the culprit: insect, disease or environmental factor.
A Plant Clinic will be open during the entire seminar in an adjoining room.
Bring samples in a plastic bag of your diseased or bug eaten plants to the
Plant Clinic. Get expert guidance on possible solutions to restoring the plant
’s health
This FREE seminar is sponsored by the Travis County Master Gardener
Association in partnership with the Travis County AgriLife Extension. For more
