ATTENTION GARDENERS!
Master Gardeners of Greene County Hotline is STILL OPEN for business to answer your important gardening questions. We will be entering the gardening season with people beginning a new garden or possibly expanding their current garden this year. Please contact us with your questions by phone 417-874-2963 by email or on our website https://mggreene.org/ask-a-master-gardener/.
All calls and emails will be handled remotely by trained Master Gardeners and answered several times per week. Please leave a detailed message if calling or just sending an email. Feel free to send pictures of your problems or questions via email. Keep an eye on this website https://mggreene.org/hotline/ for more information as it becomes available. We can’t tell you when we will be back to normal operations in the MU Extension Greene County Hotline office inside the Springfield-Greene County Botanical Center but we are looking forward to it.
In the meantime, if you need a faster answer to your important gardening question, use the MU Extension website at: https://extension2.missouri.edu/ and use the topic search box. Wishing all a wonderful gardening season!
