4-Hers are making a measurable difference in Cass County by participating in community service! During the annual Cass County 4-H Community Service Workshop Day, participants worked on several 2013 community service projects including the Colene Shrader Kidz for Kwiltz quilt tops. Funds for this project include an annual donation of $500 from the Kurk Shrader family (Elmwood) and proceeds from the annual silent quilt auction held at the end of the Cass County fair in August. Pictured are Faith C. and Grace Brown showing off the quilt top they worked on during the come-and-go daylong workshop.

MASTER GARDENER TRAINEES COMPLETE TRAINING

Last month the Southeast Nebraska Master Gardener Training Program concluded with 9 participants completing 40 hours of training. This is the third Master Gardener Training session we have had in southeast Nebraska in the past seven years. In 2010 Vaughn Hammond, Extension Educator at the Kimmel Education and Research Center and Gary
Lesoing, Extension Educator in Nemaha County decided to join forces and coordinate and conduct the training together. Training sessions were conducted in either Nebraska City at the Kimmel Education and Research Center or in Auburn. The first 6 sessions were conducted via webinar and went out to over 20 sites in Nebraska. These topics vary from year to year. Webinar programs in Auburn were held at the Nemaha County Hospital in their classroom or at the Auburn City Library. All the face-to-face sessions in Auburn were held in the 4-H Building on the Nemaha County Fairgrounds.

The program was open to anyone in Southeast Nebraska. This is the only program conducted in the region, other than programs held at the Lancaster County Extension office in Lincoln, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln East Campus or the Douglas County Extension office in Omaha. We have trained over 40 participants in the region in the 3 years we have held Master Gardener Training Programs. Many of these are still active Master Gardeners and have provided hundreds of hours of volunteer service to the region sharing their expertise in the area of gardening or horticulture. Topics covered during the trainings included: Native Plants, Drought Recovery and Water Conservation, Soils, Lawn Pests, Container Gardening, Household Insects, Morphology and Plant Identification, Fruits, Vegetables, Trees, Home GAPS, Weeds and Drought. This year
we had participants from communities in Richardson, Johnson, Otoe, Cass and Nemaha Counties. Now the trainees will complete their 40 hours of volunteer service in their respective communities to become Master Gardeners. To maintain their status as Master Gardeners, people must complete 10 hours of continuing education and 20 hours of
volunteer service each year. UNL Extension will continue to provide opportunities for Master Gardener Training in years to come. If you have questions about this program, feel free to contact Vaughn Hammond at (402) 873-3166 or Gary Lesoing at (402) 274-4755.
