Free plant clinics begin

Are pests eating your fruit trees or bothering your flowers and vegetables? Is there a plant in your yard that you do not recognize? The University of Idaho Master Gardeners operate a free plant clinic on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to noon and Thursdays from 1-4 p.m. during the months of May through September at the UI Extension Office, located behind the Courthouse at 6447 Kootenai St.

There is no charge for this service. Please bring in a sample and possibly a photo of the issue. You will need to provide any other relevant information for the problem as well as your contact information.

For further information, please call Kate Painter at the Boundary County Extension Office, 208-267-3235, or email boundary@uidaho.edu.
