SUMMARY:Botanical Book Club: Of Time and Turtles
DESCRIPTION:Got a love for books and the outdoors? Join fellow readers and nature enthusiasts as we explore various topics in our botanical book club. \nThis month\, we will be reading 𝑂𝑓 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑇𝑢𝑟𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑠 by Sy Montgomery.

SUMMARY:Thomas Dambo's TROLLS: Save the Humans

From November 22\, 2025 through May 18\, 2026\, step into a realm of imagination and come meet the colossal creations of Thomas Dambo’s TROLLS: Save the Humans. They have roamed far and wide\, but now Basse Buller\, Ibbi Pip\, Kamma Can\, Ronja Redeye\, Rosa Sunfinger\, and Sofus Lotus are on a quest to share their wild wisdom with the Omaha community. \nCrafted from reclaimed wood and a whole lot of creativity\, these gentle giants bring big personalities and even bigger messages about protecting the environment. As you wander the outdoor garden paths\, keep an eye out for all six of these towering troll ambassadors and uncover each of their stories as they touch on themes of recycling\, sustainability\, and preserving nature. \nCome explore their whimsical world with general garden admission tickets or unlock even more magical visits with garden membership. \nCreated by Thomas Dambo. Produced by The Imagine Team. \nLearn more about the artist at thomasdambo.com. \nPhoto courtesy of Atlanta Botanical Gardens.
