Master Gardener Hotline and Open House

Whether you're a newbie gardener or seasoned veteran, you'll love the Master Gardener Hotline. OSU Master Gardeners are available to offer answers to your gardening questions every Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.–2 p.m. Sage advice, indeed.

Taking their cue from First Lady Michelle Obama, many folks in Multnomah County are planting vegetable gardens for the first time. Many have questions about soil, landscape plants, fruits and vegetables, and of course, weeds.

OSU Master Gardeners will throw open their doors Friday, July 17 from 12:00-4:00 p.m. to meet residents, answer questions and inspect plants. The Master Gardener Hotline (503.445.4608) has just relocated to the West Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District office.

The Master Gardener office is in Suite 453 and the hotline is open and staffed Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Last year, the gardening hotline in Washington County answered 4,500 inquiries and the hotline in Clackamas County responded to 3,500 calls.

Master Gardeners are available to answer questions about growing and caring for plants in home gardens and landscapes. They also help identify and recommend management options for household pests. Master Gardener volunteers provide unbiased information about sustainable gardening to help the general public make informed management decisions.
