Winter Greenhouse Endless Summer Days
The August garden is alive with color, sound and fragrance. This is a great time to take a tour and see the garden at it's best. See how the plants look at their maturity and in various combinations.
Make sure to stop by the pond where the waterlilies are at their peak. There are many varieties, in a wide assortment of colors, and some that are fragrant as well.
The kids will enjoy stopping on the bridge to watch the fish swim by and the frogs splashing about. Bees, birds and butterflies are also frequent and welcome visitors to the garden, attracted to the vibrant colors and fragrant flowers.
If you would like to attract these and other wildlife creatures to your backyard, planting wildflowers is one of the best ways. Wildflowers can provide beautiful, low-maintenance landscapes, and are also useful for doing shoreline restorations. If you would like to learn more about Wisconsin native plants and the benefits of using them in your landscape, attend our free workshops on Saturday and Sunday.

Winter Greenhouse Autumn Splendor Event
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower ~ Albert Camus
Autumn is also the mellow season when all the hectic flowering and reproductive activity of the summer is over.
Seed-heads and berries look their best; and the changing color of leaves signals the beginning of the end of the growing season. For the gardener, this is the time to start putting the garden to bed and taking care of fall pruning and maintenance. You can attend the free workshop on Saturday or Sunday to learn more about the importance and proper techniques for pruning your trees and shrubs.
This time of year can also be a time of creativity and healthy activity. Plan a new garden area from scratch, expand or create new beds, make changes to tired areas, build that arbor you've been thinking about, lay out a pattern of spring-blossoming bulbs, collect seeds for next year's backyard crop or research a new heirloom variety for your vegetable garden.
We invite you to celebrate the season with us. Enjoy the beauty of our fall gardens. Get inspiration for additions to your own landscape - even the miniature garden! Refresh your patio and yard with colorful fall flowers, huge mums in a variety of new colors, and unique fall combination planters.
