Chautauqua County Master Gardeners are ready to help with your gardening questions, plant or animal identification or other gardening issues. Bring your questions to the Help Line by telephone, e-mail or walk in on Wednesdays Noon to 2PM, starting April 5th and continuing every Wednesday during the growing season. Our garden experts will review your request and set you in the right direction.
