Kewaunee County Garden Club
It is the mission of the Kewaunee County Garden Club to support the horticulture efforts of the people & communities of the county with volunteer work, education & example.
Grinch Tree DemoOn Tuesday November 26th we tried a new project. The "Grinch Tree" has become a popular holiday floral arrangement. With the guidance of a club member we sought our materials locally at Aissen Tree Farm.
With the greens and containers procured, we got started. The project took about an hour and look at the creativity unleashed from our club members. We sure had fun. 
WHAT ARE SWEDE MIDGES?
Swede midges lay their eggs on members of the cabbage family of plants — or 'brassica' — which includes broccoli, Brussels sprout, cauliflower, collards, kale and kohlrabi.

The plantscapers
The Plantscapers located at E2051 Luxemburg Rd
Luxemburg, Wisconsin 54217 hosted the Kewaunee County Garden Club for a tour of their display gardens, Bonsai and the plants available for purchase. Mixed in the display garden you will see many mature trees artfully placed showing their best attributes.
Eric Marcelle, a landscaper and designer has helped design and plant hundreds of gardens in the county, Marcelle will often mix native plants in with traditional gardens as well as use them to cover large areas of woodland, prairie or wet areas.
Marcelle's father, Jerry, began The Plantscapers, at their home almost 30 years ago. The nursery and gardens are operated out of their barn and stone out buildings. Jerry began growing hostas and native plants that were not readily available at other nurseries.
The nursery focuses on the unusual plant species and risk free natives which offer diversity and resistance to invasive species that are fast encroaching on Northeast Wisconsin.
