A COMMUNITY PHOTO GALLERY

This virtual gallery and the companion photo installation by the same name (showing now through May 30, 2022)
complement the exhibit "The Tangled Roots of Wisconsin Gardening & Floriculture" (showing now through early July 2022).
Both the photo installation and the exhibit are FREE and accessible during open hours in the
Driftless Historium Kalscheur Family Foundation Community Room. Learn more here.

Take a virtual stroll through the gardens and green spaces
of our Mount Horeb area neighbors. 

Thank you to all who shared these beautiful snapshots.
We wish you a season of just-enough rain and warm-but-not-too hot sunshine,
and ample time to sink your fingers into the mind-and-body nourishing soils of the Driftless.
