The 51st Annual Munroe-Meyer Guild Garden Walk will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 9.
Attendees will tour four fantastic Omaha area gardens, rain or shine!
The Munroe-Meyer Guild works all year to make this event the most successful garden walk in Omaha.
“Last year, the guild celebrated its 50th Garden Walk, and we are more excited for the 51st Walk than any before,” said Luann Rabe, President of the Munroe-Meyer Guild. “To enhance the Garden Walk experience, we have added free food tastings from five local restaurants, and there will be classic cars in every homeowner’s driveway. The food tastings and our exceptional artists/vendors will be showcased at the Pacific Meadows Park in an event we care calling our ‘Garden Party.’ There will be tents, tables and chairs so you can rest for a while and enjoy the park.”
This year’s walk features four gardens, but one of the gardens backs up to three neighboring gardens that are also included in the walk. All of the gardens are at private homes and are created by the homeowners. They range from mostly shady gardens to sunny gardens. Some are all flowers and others incorporate vegetable gardens with their flowers. As in the past, there will be a master gardener from the Extension office at each garden to answer any of your plant questions.
These Omaha restaurants will offer tastings:
- Railcar Modern American Kitchen;
- Homestyle Café;
- Jimmy John's, Mama's;
- Pizza West; and
- The Garden Cafe
