Thank You Master Gardeners!
Five Lancaster County Master Gardeners were recently awarded plaques to recognize them for their years of service to the Lancaster County Master Gardener program. We appreciate their dedication and support to University of Nebraska Extension programming in Lancaster County. Master Gardeners are given annual training by UNL personnel and in return provide 40 hours of volunteer time to educational outreach such as answering horticulture phone calls.
