Master Gardeners with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach's Scott County Office will open their annual Horticulture Clinic in Bettendorf, Iowa, beginning April 1.

The free clinic offers an opportunity to talk with Master Gardeners about lawn and garden issues.

Residents are encouraged to bring samples of insects, weeds or diseased plants for help identifying the problem and finding a solution. Master Gardeners use their research-based training and resources from Iowa State University to answer questions about lawn and garden care.

The clinic will be open most weekdays during the spring and summer at the ISU Extension and Outreach Scott County Office, 875 Tanglefoot Lane, Bettendorf, Iowa. Please call the office at 563-359-7577 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday for directions to the office and times when the Master Gardeners will be available.

Master Gardeners also will offer the Horticulture Clinic at the Bettendorf Library, 2950 Learning Campus Drive, Bettendorf, and at the Eastern Iowa Community College West Davenport Center, 2950 Fairmount St., Davenport. Those times and dates are:
