SOREC Plant Clinic

Do You Have a Gardening Question?

The SOREC Plant Clinic is a research-based diagnostic facility staffed by Master Gardener volunteers in Jackson County, Oregon. We help local residents recognize the nature of their plant or insect problem (including identification) via diagnosis using non-biased, research-based information. We then provide recommendations to manage the disease or disorder using proper control methods, including cultural, biological and chemical measures. Feel free to stop in, email or call with your inquiry. We look forward to serving you!
