Join Munroe-Meyer Guild for Garden Walk

For its 49th year, the Munroe-Meyer Guild’s Garden Walk (www.unmc.edu/mmi) is offering a change of pace. In addition to four visually-arresting private gardens, the upcoming event will also feature the Helping Omaha People Eat (H.O.P.E.) Garden on the grounds of Faithful Shepherd Presbyterian Church, 2530 S. 165th Ave. This year’s Garden Walk will be held from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on June 11.

“There will be Master Gardeners at the H.O.P.E. garden to talk about how visitors can start their own pollinator garden and how aronia berries, which are high in antioxidants, are good for your body, and how the H.O.P.E. Garden benefits the people of Omaha,” said Luann Rabe, President of the Munroe-Meyer Guild. “This is the first time we’ve had an ‘educational’ garden.” The five gardens on this year’s tour also include items such as a fish and lily pond, a small waterfall, cherry trees and a “Fairy Garden.”

Tickets are available at all the following locations prior to the event for $15: Blue Pomegranate Gallery, Canoyer Garden Center, Hy-Vee Stores, Indian Creek Nursery, Moore’s Nursery, Westlake Hardware at 140 & W. Center, and Mulhall’s Nursery, Inc. Tickets will be $20 on the day of the Garden Walk at all gardens.
