OMAHA – Environment Omaha will participate in Tu B’Shevat Sunday, Jan. 31, at Lauritzen Gardens. The event, co-hosted by Beth El Synagogue, will be held from 1:30 to 3:00pm. Admission has been underwritten.
The Jewish holiday of Tu B’Shevat celebrates a new year for trees and the importance of nature preservation. The Jan. 31 event will take place in the garden’s visitor and education center. Activities will include a planting project for children and adults, stories, cookie decorating and more. Visitors will be able to taste each season through nuts, seeds or fruit as they tour the spring flower show in the floral display hall.
Environment Omaha and other community groups involved in sustainability will have information tables encouraging participants to “be green.”
