OFFICE HOURS WITH CORNELL COOPERATIVE EXTENSION
*Open to gardeners in the New York Region only.*
GreenThumb is thrilled to partner with Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) this summer to help you have a successful growing season on August 11th from noon-1:00 p.m.. During the virtual office hour sessions, CCE Urban Agriculture Specialists Yolanda Gonzalez and Sam Anderson, together with GreenThumb Staff, will work through your questions and do out best to provide answers, tips, and suggestions! 

The best way for us to help identify the issue is through photos. Please upload or email greenthumbinfo@parks.nyc.gov, up to 5 clear, sharp images, with a mix of angles. For problems with plant damage or disease, include close-up shots of problem areas on the plants (damage, discoloration, etc.) and at least one zoomed out to show the whole plant, if possible. If you see a bug, any fairly close-up and in-focus photos of the bug itself will be useful, along with photos of suspected damage to the plant. 
Please submit your photos and questions in advance and RSVP at: cce_office_hours.eventbrite.com. 
*Advanced submissions will be considered first.*
