Open House and Tour

Jim & Carol Bray's Hickory Road Gardens

in Mosinee

May 12, 2007 - 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM

You have a difficult choice to make. I've already announced Dr. Bob Freckmann's tour of Powers Bluff for the Wisconsin Botanical Club. Your second option for May 12, 2007, is a tour of Jim & Carol Bray's Hickory Road Gardens in Mosinee. Jim & Carol are CWWO members who have started a commercial garden of native Wisconsin woodland plants. Some of us enjoyed a tour of their gardens last year and determined to return to see their beautiful flowers in bloom.

I attach a copy of the Hickory Road Gardens plant availability and price list. Jim also said that if we want to take potted plants rather than bare root stock, he could pot the plants you are interested in before they break dormancy in the Spring. In addition to those plants on the attached list, you will also see any number of woodland plants that are not yet ready for sale but will be available in a year or two. For me, the highlight of our last trip was seeing Green Dragon (Arisaema dracontium) plants whose seedlings will one day be for sale . . . as well as the opportunity to purchase some big Blue Bottle Gentian and several large Golden Seal at quite reasonable prices.
