The garden is located in the greenspace between the UNMC Center for Healthy Living and the UNMC College of Public Health on UNMC’s main campus near 39th–40th Streets and Dewey/Emile Streets.

  • If you’re driving, enter campus from 39th Street or Emile Street and park in one of the nearby visitor garages or surface lots around the Center for Healthy Living.

  • Walk toward the pedestrian corridor between the two buildings. The green space opens up directly behind/adjacent to the College of Public Health building.
