Lawn & Garden

Extension professionals work shoulder-to-shoulder with Nebraskans to sustainably manage community green spaces, protect natural resources, improve their landscapes and grow safe, nutritious food. Efficient water and resource use in our homes, landscapes, farms, and gardens helps protect our landscapes and prepares for future uncertainties in climate and water availability.

Correct management of healthy landscapes keeps plants growing strong for more vibrant homes and communities.

Through Extension experts and resources, Nebraskans have what they need to make well-informed decisions related to their businesses, their health, their families and their hometowns. Nebraska Extension is an integral partner in helping Nebraska live up to its well-earned reputation as “The Good Life.”
