Save the Dates: 2023 Nebraska Soil Health School

Check out these amazing opportunities to dive into the science of soil health with UNL. Much of the management of soil health seems intuitive; however, there is foundational knowledge of how soil functions and thrives, which is imperative to understanding and improving the continued capacity of the soil to function, or the soil’s “health”.

The 2023 Special Garden Project is focused on the Mrs. Burns' Lemon Basil.  This herb can be used multiple ways. Lemon basil has a unique lemon flavor and can be added to any recipe or to cut flower arrangements to add scent and interest.
