Sick Plant Clinic at the UC Botanical Garden

3-27-Sick-Plant-Clinic.jpgWe've lost more than one plant to mysterious illnesses in the past. Sometimes looking at photos online and asking our gardening friends and family members just isn't enough help. So we're glad to know about the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden's monthly Sick Plant Clinic.

 
 

Garden Pathologist Dr. Robert Raabe leads the clinic, and entomologists are on hand to help identify bugs and other pests.

The next clinic is April 5th, and you're asked to bring all sick plants or clippings covered in bags or other containers. See the Botanical Garden website for more information.

This post reminded me to order palm tree fertilizer for my poor tree! Thanks.

What a great idea!
I wish there was one in LA.
I have not been able to keep any plants alive indoors or out here.
