    We (myself and my grandparents) visited the garden at the end of September. It was a really great stop on our road trip especially since it was free! We wandered the gardens for 30-45 minutes...

    A nice place to stroll around and look at the flowers. Very relaxing. A pleasant surprise in Nebraska and it's free.

    This place never disappoints! So much work goes in to making it a lovely place. Year around. Spring is my favorite season, but I live out of town and fortunately missed the crocus, daffodils, and hyacinths. I was lucky to have caught my favorite flowers, tulips, still in bloom. Stop by if you are ever in the area and need a little nature lift.

    They impress me every year. They plant a wide variety of plants and flowers to create a gorgeous and serene spot in the heart of Lincoln. If you're looking for one of the most beautiful places in town for a small wedding, this is it! I had mine there, and the photos turned out even better than I hoped.
