The Garden Hotline

Ask us! We offer individualized solutions to your garden questions. 

For over 20 years, the Garden Hotline educators have been providing information and guidance at no cost to home gardeners and landscape professionals.  Our goal is to educate the public on ways to reduce waste, conserve water and other natural resources, and minimize the use of chemicals in your garden, landscape and yard, while creating a healthier environment and community.
