Home, Lawn and Garden - Gardens

Gardening in the Midwest can be a challenge, but a wealth of information is at your fingertips.

Would you like to become a "master gardener"? Nebraska Master Gardener volunteers receive training from and work with UNL Extension to share research-based horticulture education with other citizens of the State.

One of the best known and highly regarded resources for lawn and garden information is UNL Extension’s Backyard Farmer. This program is televised live every Thursday night from the first of April to mid September. The Backyard Farmer panel of gardening experts provides help with gardening questions on insect and disease pests, turf, fruits and vegetables, landscape design and general horticulture topics.
