In Lincoln, four gardens will be open for viewing. If you enjoy
sunny or shade gardens, unusual plants and shrubs, water features,
annuals and perennials, they will be featured in the hosts' gardens.
At Broadwell, a day lily hybridizer will cheerfully share tips for
care and companion plantings. In the country nearby, you will see a
handcrafted pergola, flower sculptures and steppingstones, along
with abundant day lilies and wildflowers. Maps are incorporated in
the garden walk ticket, and Master Gardeners at each garden will
gladly help with directions to the next nearest garden.
Advance tickets may be obtained for $8 per adult from the local
Extension office, at the northwest corner of the Logan County
Fairgrounds; at Lincoln Antique and Furniture Center, 122 S. McLean
St.; or at Graue Chevrolet, 1905 N. Kickapoo St., until business
close on Friday. Advance tickets may also purchased from any Logan
County Master Gardener. Tickets may be purchased at the gardens the
day of the walk at $10 for each adult.

A drawing for a hanging basket from Connie's Latham Greenhouse
will be featured at one garden.
During the summer, the Master Gardeners also invite you to visit
the maintained beds at Latham and Scully parks in Lincoln, the long
bed behind the Extension building, the Logan County Fairgrounds
beds, and enjoy the window boxes and containers downtown at the
senior center, The Oasis.
