Ask Kathleen Cue, the new extension educator-horticulture in Dodge County, NE.

On March 1, Cue began her job at the extension office in Fremont. Her duties include a range of responsibilities, from helping area residents find ways to manage tree insects and diseases to protecting private water sources.

She’ll work with folks in the Master Gardener program and teach people how to have a pollinator garden.

One of eight children, Cue’s gardening experience began years ago. Back then, Cue’s parents had her pull weeds in the family’s garden.
