Gardening Questions

The Master Gardener Volunteers are available to answer your calls at 518-828-3346 x212. Please leave a detailed message, or reach us anytime by emailing [email protected]. Photographs are helpful.

We offer soil pH testing for $5.00 for the first sample ($1 for each additional sample). For more comprehensive analysis, contact the Cornell Soil Health Lab. Turnaround time for pH testing can be up to two weeks due to volunteer availability. For more information go to our Soil Sample page.

For plant and insect identification, you may bring samples to our office. There is a $5.00 charge per sample. Samples must be in a container (such as a bag or jar)—we cannot accept loose samples on paper towels.
