Overview of the Gardens

General Fun Facts

The gardens are run by 5 full time staff and many dedicated volunteers.

If you are looking for a great place to take a peaceful walk, our outer walking loop is nearly one mile!

As a botanical garden, we want the public to access all of our plant collection information. Check out our new Plant Database on our website to see what has been planted in each garden.

Ways to Help Us Grow

The Monk Botanical Gardens depends heavily on volunteers. And our volunteers—hundreds of them—enjoy working at the Gardens. From weeding and clearing brush, to pruning and planting, to building and maintaining our structures, to helping with events and committee work…Volunteers perform thousands of hours of service that are helping us grow the Gardens into Central Wisconsin’s first and finest botanical garden. If you would like to inquire about volunteer opportunities or have questions, please contact us at volunteer@monkgardens.org.
