Hi, I am Dillon Clements and work City Wide within the MPRB to facilitate garden programs for youth and older adults. This is a new position and undertaking and I would like to be able to partner with master gardeners to offer educational opportunities at summer camps this year and explore other ideas and opportunities as well. I would like to be connected with someone who would be interested in helping get this process started. Thank you, -Dillon Clements Dillon Clements, MBA dclements@minneapolisparks.org Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board 3101 Bryant Ave S, 55408 Recreation Program Lead – City Wide 612-772-5353 www.minneapolisparks.org

Im having trouble with this giant plant . I can’t tell if im taking care of it properly or if it’s healthy

my quest is if i can talk to anyone that does the beekeeping classes as iam a student at LBCC and writing a paper of the impact of losing bees. like if we could do a zoom call or over the phone call just so i can get facts on the perspective of the experts and this can be from anyone who is an expert in there backround.

We have a vineyard in Junction City, Lane County. We currently have 7 acres of vines (clone 115 and 777). We are planning to expand the vineyard. The total acreage of the property is 35 acres. Is there is mapping software that you can recommend that would help us better develop a site plan for where we plant the grapes? Software that would allow us to create borders for the trellis system and machinery to move around and better budget for the correct number of plants of each clone to purchase? Thank you for your help.

Greetings! I'm an avid (although relatively new) native plant gardener and a facilitator for Quality Bicycle Product's Women's Employee Resource Group. We discuss a wide variety of topics — most related to gender, but not all! I was wondering if it would be possible to have a master gardener join us for our April meeting to offer gardening advice to our members. Since it's the month of earth day and many of us are interested in improving the environment through our individual actions, I think this would be really popular with our members. The company we work for is a B Corp and already does a lot of native plant landscaping among other environmental efforts. Thanks!

Hello, I have discovered white spots on some of the needles of my Japanese Black Pine. My research suggests that it is pine needle scale. If you agree with this diagnosis, please inform me the best way to proceed with eliminating this problem. Thank you JD

There is a request to rezone from public land to multifamily 4 stories near our homes. Is there an expert who can consult us and possibly speak on our behalf at a rezoning hearing, which has been tabled until Feb. 14? It appears this fits the criteria for spot zoning.

Hi, I have around 12-16 apple, pear and peach trees in my backyard. I realized last fall that I had an infestation of plum curculio. I have tried looking for how to treat it, but most extensions use terms I am not familiar with (e.g. https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/effectively_controlling_plum_curculio_in_stone_and_pome_fruits). I am planning to spray horticultural oil and copper this week, but I am under the impression I also need to spray some stronger pesticides. The above guide made it sound like I can use sevin after petal fall, and then something like bonide fruit tree spray (an organophosphate) if I see the adult weevils later. I was hoping you could easily tell me to spray "X" pesticide at "Y" time, then "XX" pesticide at "YY" time. Thank you, Evan
