Union Plaza is a first of its kind 6-acre urban park located north of “O” Street between 21st and 22nd Streets in the heart of central Lincoln. As part of a roadway and stormwater improvement project of Antelope Valley, this public and privately funded park has blossomed into one of the area’s largest collections of native plants. Opened in 2012 and entering its fourth growing season, Union Plaza offers more than 35 species of shrubs, 25 varieties of grasses and 100 different native perennials and forbs. The most recent addition to the park is a 20,000 square foot pollinator garden with an emphasis on milkweed and monarch habitat.

Planting combinations include both naturalistic mixes of species typically found in the region as well as stylized prairie combinations. The plant collections offer home-owner friendly combinations—showing how native plants can be introduced into more traditional landscapes.
