Here’s a sure sign spring is not too far off: The Ocean County Rutgers Master Gardeners return to the Stafford branch of the Ocean County Library on Mondays, March 9 and 23, between 10 a.m. and noon for diagnostic clinics. This program will take place on the second and fourth Monday of each month through November.

Trained Master Gardeners will help identify what’s troubling your plant – whether it’s a pest, disease, fungus or something else entirely.
