Hi Ann-Marie, 

If you have specific questions about your garden, we're more than happy to do our best to answer those questions. However, we simply don't have the capacity to do home visits. I will reach out to the Belknap County office to make sure that what they're telling the public aligns with what we're able to deliver. The person who told you we do home visits might have been confused about the difference between the roles of county field specialists who do commercial farm visits and what we do at the Education Center and Infoline.

I apologize for the miscommunication and please send us your questions as they arise!
