Upcoming Schedule of 2018 Meetings
July 25...................Gwen and Matt Culbertson, Garden Tour, 2017 Residential Silver Trowel Winner - 2344 Berkley Rd., De Pere. This Ledgeview home was built in the spring of 2013. Gwen and Matt were excited to take on the challenge of planning the land scape and gardens from a fresh slate. Making a great team, Gwen comes up with lots of big ideas and Matt says, “Sure, I can build that!” The front entrance greets visitors with shrubbery and colorful perennials. Near the street are trees and grasses glowing in full sun. A garden shed is graced with more plantings. The back of the home is also planted with seasonal plants. A generous area for a patio and fire pit are available for summertime gatherings. Please bring a lawn chair.
