New Mexico Master Gardeners
 

Recommended Reference Resources

The primary resource for answering questions on the Hotline or at other places should always be your Master Gardener Manual. But there are always occasions when that does not give you all the information that you need. In order for you to find additional help in answering a question about gardening we are including this page of recommended references.
