You buy plants labeled “easy to grow” and beautiful, but sometimes problems arise, from minor blemishes to major branch dieback. This course explores common plant symptoms, their causes, and practical treatment options, with slides and samples of pests, diseases, and environmental stress. Bring your struggling plants—or clear photos of the issues you’re seeing—to this summer plant clinic and let's get growing again!
