Perennial Gardens
Perennials bring permanence and elegance to gardens. A garden that includes an assortment of perennials provides yearlong variety and interest.
Scented Gardens
Daffodils, nicotiana, roses, lily of the valley, scented stocks or honeysuckle growing by an open window on summer evenings will fill the house with glorious perfume.
Bird & Butterfly Gardens
Certain flowers and plants attract and provide sanctuary for songbirds, humming birds, butterflies and other beneficial insects.
Kitchen Gardens
A garden can be the most fantastic source of flavors and delight. Vegetables, herbs and edible flowers can be included in a kitchen garden: tomatoes, peppers, basil, thyme, chamomile, marigold, nasturtium and more!
Rain Gardens
Rain Gardens allow water to soak slowly into the ground rather than running into storm drains, preventing pollutants from reaching nearby streams and lakes. They are also a beautiful way to help prevent erosion and shoreline damage.
Structure
Stepping stones, birdbaths, footpaths, arbors, decks, fences and patios can be incorporated to create a sense of order and variety to the garden.
Annual Flowers
Annuals such as cosmos, nicotiana, marigolds, snapdragons, zinnias and flowering vines provide color and interest throughout the gardening season.
Native Plants
Plants native to Wisconsin woodlands and prairies provide hardiness and beauty, as well as drought resistance.
Trees & Shrubs
Fruit trees, flowering trees, shade trees and shrubs can provide color, beauty, shade and privacy to your garden.
