Please note: Every Saturday the Windsor Star carries an article of a horticultural nature – usually in the form of a question/answer format, answered by one of our local Master Gardeners. Be aware that as late as Saturday, January 23, 2010, the email address given was incorrect. Please see below for the correct email address and phone number you can use to contact a Master Gardener of Ontario.
