Dundee Baskets
An Excellent Partnership
The 2010 season will mark the 11th year that Indian Creek Nursery has grown the
Dundee Memorial Park Neighborhood Association hanging baskets. It is a
partnership that each year produces 475 gorgeous begonia baskets that have
become the identity of a proud and unified Dundee neighborhood. The plants make
a statement that this area of Omaha is made up of hardworking, generous, and
caring people.
Each spring, sixty to eighty volunteers join the Indian Creek Nursery team to plant
more than forty-five begonias and ivies in each moss planter. In a two-day period,
the baskets are planted, filled, hung in the greenhouse, watered and fertilized. Over
the next nine weeks, the nursery monitors the temperature, water supply, feeding,
and check for insect or disease problems. Another group of volunteers pick up the
finished baskets in mid May and hang them on the light poles throughout the
Dundee area. Each Dundee basket requires watering nearly every day.
Homeowners and businesses care for the plants on their streets along with a water
brigade that supplements watering and gives regular feeding.
Indian Creek Nursery is excited to play such an integral part in this great mid-town
Omaha project and will continue to look for ways to make each Dundee basket a
reflection of the proud heritage of their neighborhood.
