Need Advice to Grow By? Ask Us!

UC Master Gardener advice and problem diagnosis services are available to help you with your gardening questions year-round, by phone or email. Our Help Desk volunteers can help you identify a mysterious pest, locate the best plants for your specific situation, and offer advice for sustainable gardening practices.

In your request—

  • Include your name, phone number and city (the best plant advice depends on local conditions!).
  • Describe the problem in detail. Tell us what's going on. Please include the name and age of the plant if you know it, when the problem began and where on the plant you found it, plus cultivation history such as watering, fertilizing, pruning, pesticides, construction, etc. 
  • Send photographs! Show us the whole plant, the plant in its location, close-ups of the affected part including any visible signs of pests, and both sides of damaged leaves. Photographs help!
