The American Garden is a life or death situation. As habitats disappear, American Gardens are evolving to fill the void. From a creation solely for the enjoyment of their owners, our gardens are becoming a biodiverse refuge for the native plants, pollinators, birds, butterflies and other animals with which we share the planet.

Keynote speaker Neil Diboll will discuss how native landscapes that require few if any chemicals and toxins are the future landscapes of necessity. As “Joint Ventures with Nature” in our cities and suburbs, our very survival will depend upon these landscapes.

Join Neil Diboll and nine other native plant experts on a full range of topics related to natural landscaping, native plant topics and biodiversity. Steve Petznick of Mosquito Hill Nature Center will be presenting specifically on "Birds of Wisconsin Prairies."

Besides the scheduled speakers, there will be a full range of vendors and exhibitors on hand.
