• Master Gardener program grows volunteers and communities (journalstar.com) — A longtime Gretna resident, master gardener Janice Wear, is among hundreds of Nebraskans who’ve deepened their horticulture skills and community service through Nebraska Extension’s 50-year-old Master Gardener program. Volunteers receive extensive training, then give back through projects from Blair to Gering, emphasizing science-based practices like integrated pest management and water-wise gardening. It’s a path for Gretna gardeners to learn more and help neighbors grow.
