Sandoval County Master Gardeners

Visit the Sandoval County Master Gardeners for Questions on Gardening, Horticulture & More.

We are honored to have over 150 volunteer Master Gardeners in Sandoval County that have been trained and educated by NMSU to help serve the communities in sustainable high desert gardening.

Plant and/or Insect Samples

Please contact the Master Gardener helpline to make arrangements at emailhelpline@sandovalmastergardeners.org. Please complete the Plant Specimen Submission Form (PDF) Before submitting a sample, please provide photos as many times diseases or insects can be identified from photos.

Samples will be accumulated to be shipped weekly. We request samples fit in no larger than a 9.5 x 12.5 USPS padded envelope.

Soil Testing

NMSU no longer provides soil testing. Colorado State University has generously agreed to provide soil test analysis for New Mexico. For information, cost and instructions to mail your sample contact them here: Soil, Water and Plant Testing Lab.
