Urban Horticulture Extension Agent
and Master Gardener Coordinator
Spring is near and so are the many pesky lawn and garden problems that come along with it. Your Pinellas County Extension service has solutions for you- now available in three locations for north, central, and south county residents. Master Gardeners and/or horticulturists are available at all three locations to look at samples that are brought in by residents, identify plants and insects and address many other horticulture problems.
Where you can go for help:
North: Pinellas County Master Gardener Plant Clinic at the Palm Harbor Library located at 2330 Nebraska Ave., Palm Harbor, FL 34683. This clinic is open on Wednesdays from 10am-2pm. Palm Harbor Library website: http://www.palmharborlibrary.org/
