We had an amazing compost class at our Oak Lake community garden! Three Master Gardeners taught community members how to build the best compost piles to get the best compost quickly.
Thank you to Oak Lake Evangelical Free Church for hosting. Find out more about the Master Gardeners here: www.facebook.com/NebraskaMasterGardeners/
Dandelion Root "Coffee" Class. October 9th 6-8PM
Dandelion coffee is a caffeine-free, instant coffee-like blend. It’s actually tea made out of roasted dandelion root, which tastes and looks like coffee.
Dandelion root coffee is currently being researched for its medicinal benefits. It has been studied for its effects on cancer, liver function, cardiovascular health and blood glucose regulation.
Come learn how to make this healthy alternative to your morning coffee routine!

A huge THANK YOU to our gardeners, Salim, Elpidia, and Daw. At the 100th birthday celebration of "My Antonia", they read a translated passage from the novel in Arabic, Kurdish, Spanish, and Karen.
We really appreciate the Willa Cather Archive for letting us be a part of this amazing celebration. Thank you to everyone who attended this event and made it such a success!
Thank you to this group volunteers from Allo for helping us maintain our Community Garden Site at 14th & Hudson! We would also like to thank United Way of Lincoln and Lancaster County for organizing this event. We appreciate all of the amazing effort.
There are 14 families at this site. This garden provides the opportunity for them to grow healthy, local food for themselves. Contributions from volunteers and organizations like Allo and United Way make gardens like this possible.
