Well, I would say that you should see if there is a horticultural program through your local extension office. In MN we have, through the U, the Master Gardener program and then have "plant clinics" set up where you bring in samples of plants and they will help you out. I might be able to do something for you if you send me some pics and some info on the plants. It would be really helpful if you have a pic of a healthy portion and then one of the "dying" areas. Also, I would need to know about your watering practices, how/where they are planted, lighting, etc. I'm actually a Horticultural Sciences student at the U and a member of NHGC (National Home Gardening Club). Email me at japhiel@yahoo.com with your pix and info and just put "Plant Help" in the subject line. I'll do my best to help you out, k? Thanks!

AWE, RScott you flatter me :)
Anyhow, RScott is right, show us some pics and maybe some one here will be able to help.
If you can't post some pics then find a local garden center, one that is privately owned, not Wal-Mart or Lowes. Talk to someone in person who actually knows plants. If you live anywhere near a University, you may be able to see someone in Horticulture department and they may be able to help as well.
Good luck

sptfyr and RScott are right on but you can also try http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu or www.neilsperry.com or www.springhillnursery.com. Your local County Agent can also put you in touch with a Master Gardener in your area who should be able to help you.

Take a leaf/plant sample to your local gardner for identification and help.
