El Paso County Master Gardeners are a well-trained source of unbiased, research-based horticultural information. If you have questions about your home garden or landscape, please contact our Help Desk through the contact form, below, and we will do our best to answer them. El Paso Master Gardeners follow Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service guidelines and do not endorse or recommend specific products or places of business.

Our Help Desk is a free service for the public and is staffed by El Paso Master Gardener volunteers who provide research-based horticultural information. You may leave a question by completing the Ask the Help Desk contact form, below, which allows the attachment of photos related to your gardening questions. Please convey in your question some background information about the plant or problem as well as what plant care practices you have been following.

Another way to contact our Help Desk team is by calling the Extension Office at 915-273-3502. Replies will be as soon as possible by email.

Ask the Help Desk

Let us help you with your gardening questions. You may fill out and submit this form below to contact our Help Desk. Descriptions of the plant in question or problem are more helpful if they include some background details, information about its growth or decline, and plant care practices you’ve been using or have tried. All photos are appreciated and are especially useful if they show the plant in flower, if possible, as that aids in identification. Thank you.
