The highly competitive award recognizes its winner from a pool of approximately 500 public gardens in the United States and Canada. It's given by the American Association of Botanic Gardens and Arboreta. The organization singled out Olbrich s assets -- best-designed and most horticulturally outstanding displays, gardens that reflect the regional environment, environmentally friendly gardening practices, a commitment to plant collections, and a pattern of encouraging home gardeners and students at all levels through innovative horticultural practices.
SUMMER VACATION DESTINATION U.S. BOTANIC GARDEN The United States Botanic Garden offers a great destination for gardeners who visit the nation s capital. Like many of the monuments, museums and government buildings in Washington, D.C., the garden has no admission cost. Established by the U.S. Congress in 1820, its first greenhouse was built in 1842. Since 1849, the garden has been located on the eastern end of the National Mall. The garden offers changing exhibits about plants in the United States and around the world. A permanent exhibit called "How Plants Work -- A Guide to Being Green" presents a ground view of what life is like for a plant. Also, an extensive collection of plant life is housed at the garden's conservatory and in Bartholdi Park. To see what is in bloom at the garden and for more information, visit usbg.gov/ on the Web.BE A PART OF NEW WISCONSIN GARDENER COOKBOOK Spades and spatulas both come into use for the soon-to-be-released Wisconsin Gardener Cookbook 3.
