Although
I am not a certified Master Gardener, I am an avid gardener, with personal
interests that include vegetable gardening, bulbs and perennials. My husband Dan
and I maintain a 2-acre "botanic garden" yard that has over 45
varieties of trees and shrubs, and more perennials than we can count. We also have an attached greenhouse on our home
where I grow tropicals such as orchids, plumeria, hibiscus, ginger, palms and
cycads (and he grows cactus and succulents). Some recent additions include a
flagstone patio, poetry garden, and conversion of the former cactus garden to a
rock garden. We also expanded the deck to better display container plants and
Dan's succulent bonsai. Read more about the
history of the gardens.
If you're going to be in the Madison area and want to visit my gardens, please let me know ahead of time (so I can quickly get rid of the worst of the weeds, ha ha).
Here's a peek at a few views around the yard throughout the seasons and inside the greenhouse:
