Plant RX helps local plant enthusiasts
Started in 1978, Plant RX welcomes the community to bring their sick plants in for inspection. A unique research lab that dedicates itself to identifying and rehabilitating plants. They identify issues by taking samples and examining them for insects or bacteria that may be harmful.
The Plant Protection Clinic, located at 30 Acre Pond Road, takes in sick plants.
The Clinic uses equipment such as microscopes (pictured above) to study samples.

Plant Pathologist, Keiddy Urrea-Morawicki, uses their microscopes to examine the infected plant.
