Nurturing Vibrant Garden Communities at Olbrich Botanical Gardens

On the shores of Lake Monona in Madison, Wisconsin, Olbrich’s enchanting gardens are the culmination of relationships between the many layers of community we invite and nurture.  From plants to people, and pollinators to predators, OBG seeks to cultivate appropriate habitat for all our garden residents.   In this presentation, rich photography from Olbrich’s horticulturists illustrates creative and sustainable techniques used to support a flourishing garden ecosystem.  Equally important is how we engage and support our volunteers, members, guests, budding gardeners and our greater community, so we can all grow better together.
