Drop off a sample to the office:
If you have a garden specimen (diseased

office for evaluation.
Please bring the specimen in a bag, labeled with
your name and phone number so that a Colorado Master Gardener can get
back in touch with you.
You may be asked to answer additional questions
when submitting your sample.
