Recommendations, Identification, and Diagnosis Questions
We are proud of our knowledgeable and friendly team of horticulturists and staff, and we love helping you decide which plants would thrive in your garden. If you have further questions about plant recommendations, identification, diagnosis, or other complex topics we ask that you send an email to gardeninfo@plantkingdom.net and wait for our reply rather than stopping by in-person. This also allows us to ensure that the expert on that topic will be available to help you. Emails of this nature are typically answered within 24-72 hours.
