Perhaps Wisconsin's greatest natural gift to the human experience is its stunning sequence of the seasons. No other habit will make one sink roots into the cultural soil of this place than keeping a close watch on the minute changes of life throughout the year. It's not just for the food that upper Midwesterners love to garden; it's the celebration of life's cyles - the hope of spring, the bounty of summer, the riches of maturity, and the inevitability of decline. Gardens teach us all these things, and more. Gardens teach us about the place we're living in.
