Grand Island, Nebraska: Every Student, Every Day, A Success!

Some Walnut Middle School students have been working with blowout
penstemons for two years now, while others only started growing the
endangered species this year.
But all the students had one thing in common: None of them had ever seen a blowout penstemon in bloom. That is, until Friday.
That's when James Stubbendieck of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln brought a blooming penstemon to Walnut for the students to see.
Stubbendieck's visit was something of a surprise, with his primary purpose to bring more penstemon seedlings to Walnut for the students to tend.
He also got an opportunity to see the plants that students had raised from seeds. Stubbendieck approved, giving only a piece of advice to trim some of the plants back a little bit.
