We Take the Arboretum to the People
Our goal is to “take the arboretum to the people” through our network of local gardens and to help them be places of beauty, demonstration and restoration in their home community.
Being part of PlantNebraska's arboretum network promotes your garden and connects it—and your community—to similar efforts across the state.
Arboretum curators get funding opportunities, technical support, access to and discounts on plants, labels, promotion, mentorship and ideas through curator meetings, tours, e-news and other resources. It’s a great way to grow friendships and share ideas.

PlantNebraska's Landscape Steward Site Affiliation Program was developed to recognize Nebraska’s important people-planted landscapes and to form an ongoing partnership with managers and caregivers of those landscapes. Any landscape in Nebraska that demonstrates high quality design, development and maintenance, and/or significant historical or cultural importance is eligible to be nominated as a Landscape Steward site.
1. Landscape Steward Site: A managed landscape (public or private) exhibiting excellence in design, plant diversity and maintenance. Can include multiple sites.
2. Community Arboretum: A community or neighborhood that exhibits excellence in promotion, planting, species diversity and care of the local community forest.
