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.
