MASTER GARDENER ANSWER LINE
The Purdue Extension Marion County Master Gardener Answerline provides gardening information and educational assistance to residents of Marion County and surrounding communities in Indiana. Our trained Master Gardener volunteers can assist with questions related to home gardening, plants, lawns, soils, insects, diseases, and other garden-related concerns.
Contact the Purdue Extension Master Gardener AnswerLine in Marion County at 317-275-9292 or e-mail marioncountymg@gmail.com. Digital images of garden plants/weeds/plant problems can be sent free of charge for identification/diagnosis.
To ensure that the Answerline remains focused on providing horticultural education and information, please note the following:
- The Master Gardener Answerline does not conduct on-site visits. Questions and concerns must be addressed through the Answerline's available phone, email, or other designated services.
- Master Gardener volunteers are not available for hire. Volunteers do not provide gardening, landscaping, pruning, lawn care, pest control, or other paid services.
- The Answerline does not recommend, endorse, or refer callers to specific businesses or service providers.Volunteers may provide general information about considerations to keep in mind when selecting a qualified professional.
- The Answerline does not address household pest concerns. This includes pests primarily associated with homes or other structures, such as termites, bed bugs, indoor rodents, cockroaches, and similar household pests.
Master Gardener volunteers provide educational information based on Purdue University Extension resources and other reliable horticultural information.
If our Marion County Master Gardeners cannot solve the problem via phone or e-mail, you can send a physical sample of the plant or pest problem to the Purdue Plant and Pest Diagnostic Lab (for a small fee). To submit a physical sample to the Purdue PPDL, click HERE.
