garden Q&A Live | Iowa State University Extension and Outreach

November 10, 2025
12:30 pm

Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just learning the difference between annuals and perennials, gardening comes with its fair share of questions. Why is my crabapple losing leaves? What’s eating my hostas? Is it too late to plant kale? These are the kinds of questions you can ask the gardening experts with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach during the Garden Q&A Live program!

Here’s how it works: Sign up in advance for the monthly program presented on Zoom. Join us on that day and ask your personalized gardening question—no topic too big or small. A panel of horticulture experts can offer tailored advice based on your situation.  You can even share photos to further help the experts get to the bottom of your question. 

Sign up each month, whether you have a question or not, and learn something new to implement in your own garden.  If your plants are thriving or just surviving, the Garden Q&A Live program is here to help you grow your gardening confidence.
