OSU Master Gardener Hotline

The Ohio State University Extension has re-established its hot line, which provides answers from experts for gardeners through the growing season.

The hot line has a new number -- 614-866-6900, Ext. 209 -- and instead of talking to master gardeners live, "People can call in anytime, 24/7, with their gardening questions and leave voice mail," said Cory Skurdal, the new program assistant for the Franklin County Master Gardener program.

The master gardeners will research the questions and return calls between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays each week of the gardening season, beginning Monday.
