On the grounds of the University of Wisconsin-Extension office at 3365 W. Brewster Street there are many gardens and pathways that are used for classroom studies, as well as being available for browsing by the general public. In addition, the grounds are used for our annual plant sale each May. This committee takes responsibility for the design of each of the garden areas, as well as the maintenance of those areas.
