Master Gardeners Office

Yes that's right! You can come in to our San Jose office any week-day between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. for in-person gardening advice or to have a plant problem identified; Mon-Wed are the best days in case we need to send your sample out for further analysis. Note: samples with live insects should be placed in a sealed container or plastic enclosure. Do not close bags containing plant samples.

Note: before you come in, check out our plant diagnosis tips to help gather information.
