Master Gardener Coordinators

Call us at 570-836-3196 or visit our office 8:30AM - 4:00PM with your gardening, plant or bug identification or plant disease diagnosis questions.

To help with identification and diagnosis, plant and insect specimens can be brought to the extension office.

Select fresh plant samples with intact parts including flowers, if present. For diagnosis, bring a live sample that shows both healthy and unhealthy growth.

Enclose live insect specimens and infested plants in an airtight container. If you cannot keep the insect alive, place it in a jar with alcohol or freeze it for several days to preserve the specimen.

Digital photos for plant or insect identification can also be e-mailed to the office.
