Dundee Baskets
Photo taken: 4-13-2011

This photo was taken one week after planting. It takes a good month to month and a half of watering and fertilizing to help get the roots established.

This photo was taken one month after planting. The roots are getting established which will allow the begonias and ivy to really put on some growth this next month. Longer days mixed with warmer weather helps, too!

This photo was taken about 1 week prior to the baskets being hung up on the historic light poles throughout the Dundee/Memorial Park Neighborhood. The plants put on quite a bit of growth these past two weeks!


 The 2011 season will mark the 12th 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.
