In the Dundee neighborhood of Omaha. The garden site is located at 4902 Underwood.[2] Dundee Community Garden is one of the most notable.[3][dead link] Dundee Community Garden is a member of the American Community Gardening Association.[4] The garden was founded on a vacant lot in 2009 by a group of local residents.[5] In early 2013, Dundee Community Garden Inc., received non-profit status as a 501(c)(3) organization.[6] After a fundraising campaign, which included support from the Sherwood Foundation and the Peter Kiewit Foundation, on 15 May 2013, DCG purchased the land from the previous owner.[7]
