The City Sprouts garden is located at 40th St. & Franklin St. (Southwest Corner) in the Orchard Hill Neighborhood of North Omaha. We are three blocks north of the intersection at 40th St. & Hamilton St. Regular work parties in the garden are held on Wednesday evenings (5 pm to dusk) and Saturday (9 am to 12 noon) mornings. Our Education Center is next door to the south at 4002 Seward St. Our vegetable gardens adjoin the green space just to the north owned and maintained by the Orchard Neighborhood Association for use and enjoyment of neighbors. We are keeping our neighborhood green. Over the years we have helped other gardens in the Omaha area get started. To see some of our photos, please visit the Gallery to view the albums we have started. These albums need updating -- Coming soon! Gifford Park Neighborhood Association runs an excellent community garden. For more information, see their web site at http://www.giffordparkomaha.org/ The BIG Garden Project has started over 20 gardens in the Omaha area and is continuing to build new local food resources. See their web site for a list of their locations. They also sponsor the Blue Flamingo thrift store on South 10th St. The Dundee Community Garden got started for the growing season of 2009. It is fully subscribed with family and community beds. Their web site is a good source of news regarding local sustainable food and gardening events.
