Horticulture Information

Gardening / Landscaping Questions?
Do you have gardening or landscaping questions? Flagler County's Extension Service is your free one-stop information source for all your horticulture questions through one-on-one
consultations.
Soil pH Tested Weekly
You can have your soil pH (acidity / alkalinity) tested at our office. Just bring in one measuring cup full of soil at least one day prior to testing. Collect soil samples from a four- to six-inch depth. Separate soil samples that are from a problem area - don't mix them with samples from a good area. The pH testing is free of charge. We will mail the results to you by the end of the week. If you need the results immediately, you can call the next business day.
