ROCHESTER, N.Y. — After being shuttered for two weeks, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County is pleased to announce that it is reopening the Diagnostic Clinic at Cornell Cooperative Extension, on a part-time basis, as an essential support to growing your fruits and vegetables, as well as your ornamentals. Samples may be dropped off at our office, 2449 St. Paul Blvd., Rochester 14617. There are forms and envelopes available on the south porch, which is alongside our driveway.
All samples must be prepaid with cash or by check. Payment may be placed in the mail slot in the door to the office. Checks may be made payable to CCE-Monroe. The Diagnostic Clinic’s phone number is 585-753-2553.
Take advantage of this unique service as not all counties have a diagnostic clinic. Liz Berkeley, Clinic Diagnostician, has staffed ours for the past 20 years. Her vast knowledge and experience will help you with soil samples or pest identification and treatment – weeds, insects and diseases. CCE-Monroe is here to help you get the most out of your growing experiences.
As we all learn to function under COVID 19 regulations, CCE-Monroe encourages you to get outside and consider growing something new this year. It’s a perfect salve for anxious times. Stay healthy.
