Celebrate Wildflowers!

WILDFLOWERS….. those beautiful, hardy native plants (of which Nebraska has a wealth of)! “Did you know that the purple cornflower (Echinacea) has medicinal properties? While we think of it primarily as a tea to boost the immune system, …the Plains Indians used is as a topical anesthetic for toothache & burns.”
One of Nebraska’s top ten wildflower viewing roadways is located nearby: HWY 2 from Grand Island to Alliance.
Find out more about wildflowers at: http://arboretum.unl.edu/wildflower-week or check out our display. #nebwildflowers

Photos From Painting Party With Gallery On The Go

Stephanie Leonard (a trained Gallery Guide with Gallery On The Go), brought out the inner Picasso in those who attended the painting party at the library Saturday (3/29).  Participants followed Stephanie’s step-by-step instructions, to create their own unique versions of a “Whimsy Tree”.  The paintings were created with acrylic paint and painted on canvas.  It was fun to see the paintings progress and to see how different each one was when they were finished!
