The Lauritzen Gardens Antique & Gardens Show is entering its ninth year of bringing renowned experts in antiques, gardening, the various fields of design and art to Omaha. The show's three days are filled with educational experiences, great ideas, and of course fabulous and affordable shopping opportunities. Under the leadership of our honorary chairman Mary Seina and Cindy Bay the show has grown in stature to become one of the region's most anticipated events.   

    

•      The show benefits Lauritzen Gardens, Omaha's Botanical Center. In the past eight years the show has hosted more than 30,000 people and to date has raised more than three million to benefit the garden and its educational programs.   

    

•   The regional appeal of this event continues to grow. The show reaches a broad audience drawing from a six state area including Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota and Colorado.   

    

•   The show offers a one-of-a-kind collector's experience not found elsewhere in the region. At least 30 exhibitor booths representing both international and domestic dealers, will feature both beautiful and affordable examples of museum quality antiques ranging from porcelain, silver, jewelry, oriental rugs, paintings, and finely crafted furniture.   

    

•   The weekend is packed with a wonderful lineup of events starting on Thursday with an evening Patron Preview Party, continuing with two lecture and luncheons on both Friday and Saturday and ending the weekend with Mimosa Sunday.   

    

•   On Sunday, guests bring their heirlooms and antiques to the "What's it Worth?" Appraisal Clinic for a professional evaluation from one of the nation's premier appraisers of antiques and fine art.
