The Boerner Botanical Gardens just outside Milwaukee are a very pleasant way
to spend a day or even a whole weekend. There are several different garden
spaces, but they are best known for their extensive peony plantings that bloom
for over two months in the spring. Plus, if you are already a member of an
arboretum or botanic garden, you may be able to visit the Boerner Botanical
Gardens for no charge through the AHS Reciprocal Gardens program. I have a .pdf
list of the participating public gardens
here. For more information and directions to the
botanical gardens, please
