Plant Clinics

Ask a Master Gardener. We love to answer your gardening and plant questions in person or online at our plant clinics!

Farmers Market Clinics

From April to September, the Master Gardeners will staff weekly plant clinics at farmers market and libraries throughout the county. Bring your questions, gardening problems, and samples in person and let us diagnose them with scientific research-based information.

Community Garden Plant Clinics

From April to September, Fairfax County Master Gardeners set up information tables at eight county community garden sites. Renters of garden plots, as well as the general public, can discuss garden issues and receive technical information and advice from the volunteers. The easy access to the gardens gives everyone a chance to see and discuss actual problems, giving both the Master Gardeners and the public the opportunity to exchange valuable information.

For information on the garden plot rental program, visit the Fairfax County Community Garden Program page.

Virtual Clinics Recordings on YouTube

During Covid the Master Gardeners continued to educate the public virtually. Master Gardeners discussed how to care for and harvest your food, discuss insects and diseases, or present plants best suited to grow well in our Northern Virginia gardens.
