WSU Master Gardeners of Pacific County are sponsoring a Plant Clinic and Information Center at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco on Saturday, August 17th from 10:00am through 2:00pm at the Museum’s Discovery Garden parking lot. We will be there to address your plant questions, concerns, and suggestions. The Discovery Garden is located behind the Museum’s parking lot at 115 SW Lake Street.
If you have questions such as:
• What is causing my rose bush to show clumps of red to orange powder on the lower surfaces of its leaves?
• A small yellow wing beetle covered with black spots is decimating several of my dahlias/ What is it and how do I get rid of it?
• Moss is all over my lawn. What moss killer can I use?
• One of my tomato plants has gray-green, water-soaked spots that appear on the leaves, stems and fruit. What is causing this?
We can help you! Stop by anytime between 10 am and 2 pm. Bring samples if you can.
We are also giving informal tours of the Native Plant Garden and our own vegetable garden!
WSU Extension also supports two web sites that can help you diagnose your own plant problems.
• Hortsense (http://hortsense.cahnrs.wsu.edu/Home/HortsenseHome.aspx) – Contains fact sheets for the home gardener to manage plant problems using Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
• Pestsense (http://pestsense.cahnrs.wsu.edu/Home/PestsenseHome.aspx) – Contains fact sheets for managing common indoor pest problems using Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
We will be sponsoring plant clinics as part of the Second Annual Dahlia Show on September 13th and 14th from 10:00am to 4:00pm at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum. We will be located in the Café room. Stop by and we will answer your questions and help solve your plant problems!
