Dundee Baskets
An Excellent Partnership
The 2008 season will mark the 9th 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.
