Tree Planting and Care Series
Join our Gardens and Orchards manager, Brittany, every Friday for our 8-week mini-series (from December 8 to February 9th), emphasizing the significance of growing food for our community. Discover how planting trees can complement community gardens, offering environmental advantages, contributing to local sustainability, and offering the availability of fresh, homegrown produce. You'll learn everything from planting your tree, giving it proper nutrients, and how to maintain it.
Due to the extreme weather changes Nebraska has experienced,
