Mark Dwyer: Rotary Botanical Gardens - 30 Years of Promoting Wellness

Mark Dwyer will discuss how a former sand and gravel pit has become an award-winning, 20-acre botanical showcase featuring 26 garden areas, and over 4,000 plant varieties, one of the most inspiring non-pro t gardens in Wisconsin. He will introduce us to the Wellness Garden, the new garden space designed for an all-accessible sensory experience. Mark has managed the continued care and development of this garden for over 20 years with a talented grounds staff and many volunteers. They are celebrating their 30th Anniversary this year!
