Plants for Nebraska--Best Nurseries

Nebraska has a love affair with plants. Even with its rather dry climate, the urban areas like Omaha are rich with parks, gardens and botanic organizations. The state is loaded with native wildflowers of all kinds, and spring begins showing its head very early in the first of March. These are the times that local botanic centers open their doors for the sale of some of these native plants. But the garden centers have already gotten the first shipments of their container plants, new bulbs and shrubs.

Campbells is one of the most popular nurseries in Lincoln. It's a family-owned and run business that's been in business since its inception over 80 years ago. It has been at the 40th St. address since 1950. The bedding plant green houses produce half a million annuals each year with over 200 varieties. Their other location on 56th St. produces the perennials, trees and shrubs. But it also sells supplies for soil augmentation and garden gifts. They have a newsletter that locals certainly sign up for, but people can click on the Spotlight link to read some of their very informative past articles. These discuss things like shade gardening plants and preparation for the spring garden. Their landscaping company can handle water gardens and features as well as large commercial jobs.
