<\/a>volleyball, gymnastics and piano and Patricia who is in elementary school and likes singing, dancing, and gymnastics.<\/p>\nNelson started with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System as a County Agent in Shelby County in 1993 and then became a Regional Extension Agent in 2004 covering 10.5 Counties and part of his duties included coordinating 6 Master Gardener Programs. Currently, he is a Regional Extension Agent for Bibb, Chilton, Fayette, Lamar, Marion, Pickens, Shelby and Tuscaloosa counties and oversees 4 Master Gardener Programs. These are in Chilton, Shelby, Tuscaloosa and the combined Lamar, Marion and Fayette programs. Nelson is an expert in Home Grounds; Gardening, and Pest Management.<\/p>\n
He first became interested in agriculture in the 7th grade when his brother, Lee, who is 5 years older, gave him a list of future needs. Lee told him to pick one and to prepare and educate himself. Nelson picked Agriculture. He received his B.S. in Soil Science, and his Masters in Horticulture, both from Alabama A & M University. In the horticultural world he likes the study of lawn grasses the best. He says of his career choice \u201c This is not the kind of job where you will make a lot of money but if you like people and the type of work you are doing, you will enjoy it. \u201c<\/p>\n
Because he spends so much time in the office dealing with homeowners\u2019 problems, when asked how many hours do you spend gardening? He said, \u201cAll day long in the office.\u201d He doesn\u2019t do a lot of\u00a0 gardening, but his wife\u00a0enjoys container gardening. He is happy if he can get home before dark to\u00a0mow his grass! Stephanie raises tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, watermelons, and greens in containers.\u00a0Nelson’s favorite vegetable is a cucumber and his favorite fruit is a banana.<\/p>\n
Nelson prefers roses, Rose of Sharon, sweet shrub and trees that aren\u2019t messy and give good shade. He likes the Tulip Popular and Sycamore Trees but says he is seeing fewer and fewer of them.<\/p>\n
He likes to read Sci-fi and action novels and watch TV. He works out by walking and jogging. While in school he ran track and played basketball.\u00a0His family\u00a0 prefer fish to\u00a0having dogs and cats.<\/p>\n
A few things you might not know about Nelson, he was a county agent in Georgia in the 1980\u2019s, and has traveled Route 66 going to a family reunion in Las Vega in 2010. Along the way he saw the Grand Canyon. He has worked for a pipe company, a respiratory company, he has been a librarian, a lab assistant, a mechanic, a carpenter, worked in pulpwood and for a bottling company.<\/p>\n
Words to live by are words his mother taught him, \u201cTreat people like you want to be treated. \u201c<\/p>\n
His favorite thing about Chilton County Master Gardeners is: \u201cThey are hard workers, they step up when ask to do something, and have helped me to keep the Master Gardener Program going and growing in Chilton County.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
