Collapse ▲Extension Master Gardener Volunteers are working remotely and part-time in the office as we deal with the Covid-19 virus. Soil Sample kits are still located in the Ag Services and are available in boxes outside the front door. Reach out for assistance with all your home gardening questions, via email or phone! Office hours are generally Monday-Friday, 9-12 and 1-4, but call first if you plan to visit to confirm the office is staffed. Otherwise, leave phone messages as they will be checked daily and responded to as soon as possible. Telephone is 919-250-1084 and email is mgardener@wakegov.com
