Lauritzen Gardens (Omaha's Botanical Center)
Omaha
Nebraska's premier botanical garden, Lauritzen Gardens is a 100-acre botanical garden and arboretum in South Omaha, originally opened in 1994. The gardens feature over 20 distinct areas including the Song of the Lark Meadow (a native Nebraska wildflower meadow named after Willa Cather), the English Perennial Border, Rose Garden, Herb Garden, and Woodland Trail. The Song of the Lark Meadow is specifically planted with native Nebraska flowers — including black-eyed Susan, plains coreopsis, yarrow, and blanket flower — that attract Ruby-throated Hummingbirds reliably through the summer months. Lauritzen is an American Horticultural Society reciprocal admissions partner.
