Nebraska Statewide Arboretum to Hold Garden Walks in Omaha and Lincoln

Lincoln, Neb. —The Nebraska Statewide Arboretum will hold its annual Garden Walk in Omaha on Tuesday, Sept. 13, and in Lincoln on Tuesday, Sept. 20. Both Garden Walks will take place from 5 to 7:30 p.m. More than a half-dozen local gardens across each city will be open to tour, with owners on hand to answer questions and provide information about the plants and garden design.

All of the gardens featured on the tours are part of NSA’s Bloom Box program or the My Garden Affiliate program. Bloom Box provides local gardeners with native plants hand-selected by NSA’s horticulturalists, along with a design plan and instructions for maintaining the garden. The My Garden program is designed for home gardeners seeking to use their private gardens to create a more sustainable, resilient environment.

“The Garden Walks are a chance for local gardeners participating in our programs to show off the beautiful results of their hard work, while also inspiring others to explore and learn about the benefits of sustainable gardening,” said NSA Program Coordinator Sarah Buckley.

Tickets for the Garden Walks are $5/car for NSA members and $10/car for non-members. Participants will be provided with a map of the gardens on the tour and a description of each.
