Big Garden at Kids Can Community Center

We are excited to work with The Big Garden this summer to plant a vegetable garden at Kids Can! Our kids will be involved in the planting, watering, weeding and care of our plants! Watch for our garden to start in May on the south side of the building!

Here is more information about The Big Garden or visit their website at www.gardenbig.org

The Big Garden, a network of community gardens located in Omaha, Nebraska, focuses on empowering neighbors to grow nutritious food, build community relationships, create safe neighborhood spaces and develop healthy lifestyles.

Individually designed to fit the needs of the neighborhood, each garden site is a safe place for families to plant, nurture, and harvest their own fresh food. Each site is also a centerpiece for neighborhood programs ranging from health and nutrition classes to live music events.

When people come together to work in a garden the benefits are unlimited. Come play in our dirt. Come explore the Big Garden.
