Start planning for fall planting!
Save the Date!
Our Fall 2026 Opening Day will be Saturday, August 22nd!
Fall is an amazing time to plant natives! As the days get shorter and the temperatures begin to cool down, perennial plants naturally transition into deep root production and energy storage, allowing them to establish incredibly well before Winter sets in. And with reduced w**d and pest-insect pressures on top of that, there is no better way to get a jump start on next Spring’s blooms than by adding new flowers to your garden now! So take full advantage of planting season Part 2 by visiting us our greenhouse to shop the largest selection of native perennial wildflowers and grasses in Nebraska, grown locally and pesticide-free right here in Lincoln!
Or if you'd rather skip the line and shop for plants from the comfort of your own home, prior to our greenhouse being open to the public on August 22nd, our semi-annual limited-time online ordering period will begin on August 15th where you can purchase plants ahead of time for pick-up from the nursery on opening day!
**Please note that we will no longer be offering delivery as an option via online ordering.
