Tour: Debra Knapke will open our gardens for us to visit. Her 2/3 acre garden is used for research, teaching, testing design ideas and enjoying. "I practice ecologically-conscious gardening - my term - as I have come to realize that nature is my partner in the garden; and a most primary teacher." There are 26 different garden areas consisting of shade gardens, sun gardens, herb areas, rock areas, and in-transition conifer garden, a vegetable garden, a forest garden and more. There is something to see year-round; it is a garden for all seasons. Owner: Debra Knapke, known as "The Garden Sage" is a popular speaker at professional symposia as well as gardening events throughout the Midwest.
