Cornell Cooperative Extension offers research-based support to gardeners through our community horticulture and Master Gardener Volunteer programs. Homeowners can attend our classes, view online resources and have their gardening questions answered by our Garden Helpline service. Plant, insect and soil samples can be brought to our diagnostic lab for help determining problems in their home or garden.
