If you’ve visited Omaha’s Lauritzen Gardens during the past several years and taken the grand tram tour you’ve heard narration produced at Tesco Productions. Omaha’s Botanical Center located near I-80 and 13th Street overlooks the Missouri River and is one of the welcoming sights as you cross the bridge into Omaha from Iowa. Perched on the Loess Hills are two of Union Pacific’s largest locomotives that comprise the major attractions to Kenefick Park which is on the Lauritzen Gardens’ grounds. Tesco Productions has been called on to record the “story” of the gardens so visitors can hear the history, progress and future plans as they see the various areas first hand. This year’s tour is somewhat restricted due to storm sewer work the city of Omaha is performing, making some gardens areas inaccessible, but major areas of its 100 acre site are still available including the Visitor and Education Center.
I would say it’s well worth your time and investment to get away and see the garden in its various seasons and enjoy a piece of God’s beautiful creation.
