Lauritzen Gardens is currently open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Marjorie K. Daugherty Conservatory and the woodland trail will be closed from January 1 through early fall 2025 to complete the second phase of the conservatory's refresh. During this time 20+ outdoor gardens and the floral display hall will remain open for your enjoyment.

To improve the safety of westbound traffic, the City of Omaha has installed a diverter on Bancroft Street at 11th Street. When leaving the garden, this may impact your route. Traffic heading south of the garden or to I-80 is encouraged to turn left at 10th and Bancroft or at 13th and Vinton.

An impression can be a texture, a feeling, an imitation, or a profound effect. Nature is, in essence, a collection of impressions by design and by experience. This series is a compilation of impressions found and felt by artist Megan Lenherr.
