Many people spent more time outside during the COVID-19 pandemic, noticing their landscape or starting gardens. Nebraska Extension horticulture staff, including Extension Educator Sarah Browning, created the GROBigRed Virtual Learning Series. The series of 12 programs was attended by 1,100 participants. Extension Associate Mary Jane Frogge partnered with Extension in Douglas–Sarpy Counties to present a new virtual Lunch and Learn series to engage Extension’s Master Gardener volunteers. Master Gardener Nance Harris said, “Knowledgeable presenters, relevant topics and good questions from participants with equally good answers from the pros. Appreciated the chance to learn more.”
