HORTICULTURE PROFESSIONALS

As Snohomish County has become less agricultural and more urban, the focus of the local WSU Extension horticulture program has been on serving gardeners, not horticultural professionals but we now have a horticulture agent to do educational programming for growers of row crops, nursery crop producers, park and commercial landscapers and maintenance personnel.

Sharon Collman,357-6025 will take commercial calls and walk-ins. Sharon will try to solve problems or direct you to other resources. She or Dave Pehling, an expert diagnostician, can often do plant disease, insect, weed and plant identification and save you the delay and fee associated with sending a specimen to the Puyallup Lab. University regulations do not allow Master Gardeners to handle commercial questions, other than to take down information, so please identify yourself as a horticultural professional.


WSU Snohomish County Extension offers Hort Pro training to a limited number of people once a year. Check our web site in September or call our office for more information
