Spring only comes once a year – Don’t Miss It!

Take the time before spring is over and the blossoms are down. Here is a list of local community gardens that we can all visit — smell the blossoms, view the kaleidoscope of color, and enjoy the beauty of spring. These gardens are free to enjoy and appreciate at any time of year, but now is THE BEST TIME. Don’t Delay.

The UW Arboretum; Allen Centennial Gardens; Olbrich Botanical Gardens; University Display Gardens (West Madison Ag Research Station); Rotary Gardens in Janesville; Anderson Japanese Garden in Rockford

ENJOY!

We think so!

Magnolia 'Leonard Messel'

Magnolias

Magnolias are just prime right now.

There are numerous colors and varieties to choose from in the Magnolia family. Make a trip to the Arboretum right now or in the next few days and you can jot down the color and variety you like. The colors and blossoms are absolutely gorgeous this time of year. Go pick out a variety and we’ll get one for you.

Cercis Canadensis (Redbud Tree)

Cercis canadensis

There is no way to describe the beauty of a Redbud tree — you just have to sit and admire its many attributes: the blossom color; the fact that the blossoms are all by themselves with no leaves (they come later); the interesting low, wide-spreading structure; and just its all around magnificence.

Both of the above beauties will brighten up your landscape. You’ll be the envy of the neighborhood.
