Something new is coming!

The Urban Trails Garden is now TMCO Urban Commons. TMCO is working to reopen a small local-forward retail space, provide nature-based educational programming, and partner with local organizations to create a space for community programming.

Rooted in place, designed for all

TMCO Urban Commons is an urban nature oasis in the South Salt Creek Neighborhood selling local art and nature-related products, offering free educational programming, and working to build community.

Retail Space - coming soon!

TMCO Urban Commons has a small retail space inside the main building that focuses on nature and garden related items. We are currently working with local businesses and vendors to open up the retail space.

Programming

TMCO Urban Commons is thrilled to be able to open up our beautiful space for free programming. During these times, the retail space featuring local vendors and artists will be open to the public. Come enjoy the beautiful garden while you learn and connect with others.

  • TMCO Urban Trails is collaborating with the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia to host historical neighborhood walks in the South Bottoms. They are hosted four times a year. See our programming calendar or more details.

  • Coming soon! Starting this fall, Friday mornings at 10:00, we will host nature-based story time programming. Come for the story - stay for the nature! See our programming calendar for more details.

  • Join us for our monthly book club that focuses on books related to gardening and nature. See our programming calendar for more information.

TMCO Urban Commons partners with Lincoln Parks & Recreation to utilize and maintain the greenhouses. When you visit the space, you’ll notice the greenhouses being used for propagating and growing all types of plants, shrubs, and trees for Lincoln’s parks and green spaces. While not open to the public, they add to the beauty of the space. This collaboration is just one that TMCO is committed to for building community in our neighborhood.
