The Helpline serves Vermont and Northern New Hampshire residents by providing accurate and timely information put together by University of Vermont Specialists about home and garden horticulture issues.
We can tell you all about the basics of starting seeds, planting, and even how to test your soil to see how well suited it is for growing. Please see our page of Seasonal Topics for current issues.
We can help you identify diseases, insects, and help you track down the source of your problems when the culprit isn't obvious. Please see our page on Submitting specimens.

VERY IMPORTANT!! For household and structural pests (carpenter ants, termites, etc.) please contact Jon Turmel at jon@agr.state.vt.us. Master Gardeners cannot handle these issues!
If you are a COMMERCIAL GROWER, please visit the UVM Plant Diagnostic Clinic. We're sorry, but we are only trained to work with home horticulture issues.
