Specialty Crop

The goal of the University of Wyoming Extension Master Gardeners Program is to educate participants about basic horticulture, entomology, soil health, botany, plant pathology, weed identification, proper use of pesticides and herbicides, and other aspects of gardening and yard care.

The Platte County Master Gardeners helps to oversee a high tunnel at the Platte County Fairgrounds; conducts yard visits to address a variety of questions relating to gardening, landscaping, weeds, and plant diseases; cares for landscaping around the Extension office; and sponsors workshops on specialty crops, gardening, landscaping, and weed and pest control.

The Platte County Extension horticulture webpage contains horticulture-related publications and videos.
