Around 60 local green thumbs will be participating this Saturday, May 10, in the annual Wake Up the Beds planting of Sunken Gardens in central Lincoln, near 26th and “D” Street.
Shovels hit the soil around 8:30 a.m. The 2025 theme is “Enchanted Ocean.” Garden guests will be immersed in beds of white, lavender, and shades of blue representing the varying depths of the sea, while pops of yellow, orange, and pink represent vibrant beaches.
The 2024 theme was “Golden Hours,” inspired by early spring mornings and late summer evenings. All themes since the 2005 renovation and designs from previous years can be viewed at lincoln.ne.gov/sunkengardens.
