Plant Diagnostic Clinics

UF/IFAS Monroe County Extension Service offers free plant clinics. Master Gardener Volunteers will be on-site at regional plant clinics to assist with plant identification, disease diagnosis, insect identification/problems, and other services related to diagnosing gardening and/or landscape problems.

What to Bring with You:

Photo: Clear photos of the issues you are having will help master gardeners with diagnosis. Make sure the photos are in focus, and take one of the whole plant and some close-ups of the problem(s).

Plant Sample:Samples should include healthy material and material showing issue(s) to beidentified. Bring material in a plastic bag and, if possible, collect on the same day as the plant clinic; otherwise, keep the sample refrigerated.

Insect Sample: Place the sample in a jar or other suitable container. Collect more than one specimen if possible. Insects may be dead or alive.
