Gardening opportunities

Do you need help diagnosing a horticulture related issue or question? Are you trying to figure out what is wrong with your trees? Need help planning a garden or coming up with a landscape plan for your yard? Do you think that you have a plant disease or insect affecting your yard plants and trees?

MSU Extension Horticulture Specialist Toby Day will be conducting site visits on March 30 around Fallon and Carter counties, providing an opportunity to get expert opinions that will help get the growing season off to a good start. Interested individuals are asked to contact the Fallon/Carter County Extension Office to schedule a visit by calling (406) 778-7110 or emailing elin.kittelmann@montana.edu.
