I had a great day in Madison, WI today although the weather went from very rainy to a bit muggy! I was on Larry Meiller’s Garden Talk program (Wisconsin Public Radio) which is always fun. Larry is a great guy and the show certainly allows me to shamelessly promote the gardens to a wide listening audience. After checking in with our Friday grounds staff (Larry, Cindy, Chuck, Brian and Sean) at work, I drove through a typhoon to get up to Madison where I visited the Botany Garden and Allen Centennial Garden on the UW-Madison campus before the radio program. The rain had abated after the program finished so I headed over to Olbrich Botanical Garden and enjoyed a tour around one of my favorite garden (photos below). It was a nice day to get my “horticultural fix” in a different city although we’re looking forward to more momentum next week as staff and volunteers continue to refine, plant and beautify our 20 acre garden in Janesville for our 30th Anniversary year!
