Tolland County Master Gardeners and Bolton residents Jean Laughman and Leslie Alexander, and Pam Cooper, from the UConn Home and Garden Center, will conduct free soil pH testing and answer your gardening questions.

Samples of plant problems are also welcome, e.g. a leaf or stem of an affected plant in a baggie or container. Gardening questions will be addressed throughout the evening.

Please drop off or email specific questions relating to soil, plants, gardens, or trees to the library by Wednesday, Sept. 21, then come to the library on Thursday night to consider the answers with the gardeners.

Soil pH testing will be completed while you wait, time permitting. Information on nutrient testing through UConn and overall soil and plant care and maintenance will also be available. Registration is not required.
