Have you ever wanted to learn more about Someday
Gardens? We are now providing tours and seminars
to help you learn more about what we do.
We have spent the past 5 years creating a more
sustainable suburban landscaping model using his
newly constructed home in south central Wisconsin.
From a denuded soil where not even weeds would
grow, we now grow and harvest over 800 pounds of
food from 75 edible plant species. This is possible
through intense soil building efforts - over 3000
pounds of compost and vermicompost is produced
annually on site. To irrigate the gardens, the
property now collects and stores over 60,000
gallons of rain water each year. Come learn more
about our journey!
Seminars and Tours are
conducted by Robert Frost.
Robert is an engaging instructor,
giving talks at Sustain Daneʼs
"Bringing Bioneers to
Wisconsin", presenting gardening
workshops for three consecutive
years at the MREA Energy Fair
and also teaching at Sustain
Jeffersonʼs Organic Gardening
Workshop.
