June is Pride Month, and we have a special PlantNebraska Pride tee to celebrate!

Because plants make the world more welcoming, and so do people, you can celebrate Pride Month this June while supporting greener communities across Nebraska.

Grab yours and grow with pride! 🌈🌿

It's our favorite week of the year! Ok, maybe we have more than one favorite week, but Nebraska Wildflower Week is right up there! We have SO many fun things happening this week as we head west to hang out in Chadron, Scottsbluff and Gering. Think sunset wildflower hikes, plant sales, plant talks, social gatherings, trivia, and more -- all free, all open to the public. We want to get to know you! Check out all our western Nebraska Wildflower Week events, plus other events happening statewide with our partners. https://plantnebraska.org/resources-events/events/wildflowers.html Yay for flowers!

We only have a handful of spring plant sales left, so if you have holes to fill in your garden beds, now's the time to snap up the last plants. We'll be at our greenhouses (2150 N. 38th St., Lincoln, on the north side of UNL's East Campus) today (Saturday, May 30) from 9 a.m. to noon. Come shop for perennials for sun and shade, herbs, grasses, sedges, trees and shrubs. We take credit/debit cards and checks; no cash, please. And PlantNebraska members get 15% off.

Plants love rain, which means it's a great day to garden! Our greenhouses are open today (Friday, May 29), 12:30 - 4:30 p.m. and tomorrow (Saturday, May 30), 9 a.m. to 12 noon -- 2150 N. 38th Street, Lincoln (on the north side of UNL's East Campus). We take credit/debit cards and checks; no cash, please. Current PlantNebraska members get 15% off. See you there!

Thank you to everyone who supported our internship program through a Give to Lincoln Day donation! We had our most successful Give to Lincoln Day ever and raised more money for our internship program than in any previous year. These gifts allow us to continue our work of training and educating students who will soon enter the workforce and continue the important work of planting Nebraska every day.

Just a few more hours to donate to our Give to Lincoln Day campaign to support our student internship program. For real, we could not plant Nebraska without their help - they plant, they w**d, they water, they transplant, they work our sales! You name it, our interns are getting their hands dirty, literally. Give to Lincoln Day ends tonight (Thursday, May 28) at midnight, and we are trying to raise $20,000. Can you help us get there? Garret, our current intern, is cheering you on!

Give to Lincoln Day is here, and we are raising funds to support our student internship program! $20,000 is our goal to support one full-time UNL intern for a year, including full-time summer work. Donate here --> https://givetolincoln.com/nonprofits/plantnebraska

A donation to our Give to Lincoln Day campaign is an investment in hope for the future. Our student interns work hard, learn A LOT and then take their knowledge and skills out into the world to positively impact Nebraska communities and improve the environment. Your contribution to this Give To Lincoln Day campaign is truly an investment in a better future.

Thank you!!

Nebraska Wildflower Week is coming June 1-7! Come celebrate the diversity and beauty of Nebraska's wildflowers with us in Western Nebraska.

We will be hosting a bunch of fun, free, family-oriented activities in Chadron, Scottsbluff and Gering: guided wildflower hikes at Gilbert Baker Wildlife Management Area and Scotts Bluff National Monument; a pop up plant sale, plant talk and garden walk at the Mari Sandoz High Plain Heritage Center in Chadron; tree-via at Papa Moon Headquarters in Scottsbluff; a community planting at the North Platte NRD in Scottsbluff and a plant sale at Community Ever Green House in Gering!

All the details are on our website --> https://plantnebraska.org/resources-events/events/wildflowers.html

Our interns really go places after they graduate from UNL! Sarah Spilinek was an intern with our Greener Towns grant program and a landscape architecture major and now works as a landscape architectural designer for JEO Consulting -- so cool!

You can help students like Sarah succeed by making a donation to our Give to Lincoln Day Campaign this year. We are aiming to raise $20,000 to support our student intern program, which helps UNL students like Sarah gain real-world experience that they take to their Nebraska communities and workplaces to make a real, lasting difference.

Give to Lincoln Day is this Thursday, May 28, but you can make a donation any time to help us hit our goal this week. Thank you for supporting the next generation of young leaders in Nebraska!
