On Wednesday, July 24th, 2019, some Hort Committee members took advantage of a beautiful summer day to visit a few urban gardens in Omaha.  Our first visit was to a “Sacred Seed Pop Up” at 727 S. 13th Street.  What was recently a vacant property where a building had been torn down, is now a garden tended by several Omaha area organizations.  You can read more about it at sacredseedpopup.org.

Our second garden was at the Heartland of America Park, a stunning perennial garden maintained by local Master Gardeners.  The park is going to be reconfigured and the garden removed with the new green space being developed for downtown Omaha, so this is the last summer for this particular garden.
