Did you know?

The Horticultural Society of St. Louis has a Plant MD HOTLINE!

The Plant MD Hotline gives you the opportunity to get answers to you various gardening, insect, tree, flower, herb, wildlife, landscaping and fruit questions.

The Volunteers address the everyday (and not so everyday!) questions encountered by gardeners.

The hotline is staffed by trained volunteer Master Gardeners with the Horticultural Society of St. Louis who have completed rigorous program requirements.

Give us all the detail you can, and please include pictures of the following;

  • A “distance shot”, a photo showing the environment

  • An “up close” picture of just the plant itself

  • An even closer shot, showing the area of concern.

Email us at freegardenhelp@gmail.com at anytime with your questions.
