Local Interest

Do you enjoy plants and gardening? Are you looking to learn more and hone your skills but don’t know where to go? The Extension Master Gardener Volunteer program will educate you on many aspects of horticulture, allow you to test your knowledge and skills, all while serving your local community.

**EVERYONE will need to RSVP at 308-236-1235 for ALL trainings so that we can make sure we have space.

We have scheduled the following Pesticide Safety Education Programs (PSEP) training sessions in Buffalo County:

The 4-H program offers a lot of different awards to give youth and adults the incentive to keep "Making the Best, Better." The 4-H application is an organized presentation of what has been learned and accomplished in 4-H. Filling out an achievement application does take some work but when accurately and carefully assembled, it is a useful tool for determining progress and personal growth throughout the 4-H'ers career, and will serve as a resource when applying for college scholarships and creating your resume.

Achievement Application and Diamond Clover Applications are due November 1 at the Buffalo County Extension Office.

We would like to share some easy, fun at home experiments and recipes.  Enjoy!
