Plant Problem Sleuthing
Wilted branch? Speckled leaf? Discoloration and leaf drop? Patty, Taltree’s Horticulture Manager, loves the question: “What’s wrong with my plant?” Bring (in a sealed plastic baggie!) a sample of your plant problem or bring some photos on a ‘stick’ drive and Patty will whip out her plaid Sherlock hat and spying glass to try and diagnose the problem. She’ll share some tips on diagnosing problems yourself as well as where to go when you just don’t know, in this gentle introduction to Plant Pathology. Cost for this class is $35 for nonmembers, $30 for members. Class will be held in the Taltree classroom, 71 North 500 West, Valparaiso, IN.
