GARDEN TALKS

The famous Roman philosopher Cicero once said, “If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.”  He certainly found a winning combination because the Appleton and Kimberly public libraries together with Outagamie County Master Gardener Association is proud to again feature a series of workshops and lectures for the 2025 calendar year called Garden Talks. The public will be welcomed to a variety of garden-related talks and demonstrations featuring local speakers and gardeners.
