MARCH MEETING - CANCELLED
Picture

​​​A note from our fearless leader  tom z

Hello all.  After much soul-searching and discussion with several others, I have decided to cancel the March meeting of the KCGC.
  I have recommended that HCE also cancel, but that is their call.  
The April 28 meeting at The Ag Heritage Center at 6:30 is still a go. 
Dave Myers has agreed to talk to us at the May 19 meeting, which will take place at Dana Farm at 7PM.
​  I have several ideas for the summer meetings and will work on those soon.

Grinch Tree Demo

On 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.

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.
