Farewell to 2021…

… a year of resiliency, recovery, and reminiscing. We saw many programs get back on track, albeit smaller numbers than pre-pandemic, and we ended our 25th Anniversary year with another successful WPS Garden of Lights event.

We also ended the year achieving our fundraising goal for the Nature Nurtures Capital Campaign, exceeding our $11.5 million goal, ensuring we will have funds to develop and maintain expanded programming once this garden is built. Construction will begin the first quarter, and we are hoping to conclude by the first quarter of 2023, with a grand opening in the spring.

We’re beginning 2022 with a Board of Directors strategic planning session to review our vision and mission. Themes of sustainability, inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility, alongside expanded children and family programming and exhibits will take center stage as we continue to evolve as a public garden that serves our community.

To that end, we will be eliminating some programs that have run their course such as Garden Fair. This event served the Garden well over the years, since 1985 in

fact, 11 years before we even had a garden. Since the great recession of 2008, the industry has changed: the labor force became tighter and people buy their plant materials earlier in the season. A mutual reckoning occurred amongst our plant vendors that the event was no longer beneficial for them or for the Garden.

We are also looking forward to our new exhibit, Habitat, starting this coming April. The exhibition explores the critical need for varied habitats, how interconnected and fragile they are, and what we can do to protect them. Unique habitats will be showcased throughout the gardens and landscapes of the Garden.

Leading all of this is our Board of Directors: a group of 20 members from throughout the community who have demonstrated a passion for the Garden and maintaining its relevancy to our community – see our directors on the back cover! It's a new year with so many exciting changes on the horizon. We look forward to what 2022 will bring!

Hop to the Garden for Habitat Exhibition

By Chris ‘Chip’ Refsguard, Education Coordinator This time of year, we are all cozy in our homes – our own little oasis out of the cold. We cherish our personal spaces, and coming this April, we’re excited to showcase a variety of beloved wildlife homes around the Garden in our 2022 exhibit: Habitat. Developed by Smithsonian Gardens and made available by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES), Habitat will highlight eight unique habitats that are vital to understanding the diverse life around us. Featuring sculptures created by local community artists, it connects a nationwide message with our Green Bay community.

That message: Protecting Habitats Protects Life.

Here’s what you’ll get to experience later this spring: • Discover how a simple dead log can be a metropolis for hundreds of living creatures; when a tree dies, it's not the end of the story—it’s just the start of a new home.

• Most of us have seen dragonflies zipping around a pond, but did you know they can help researchers diagnose the health of an ecosystem?

• Dive into the magical underground world of fungi!

• See a wide array of larger-than-life bird nest sculptures and Wisconsin insects.

• Compare your wingspan to Wisconsin birds as you explore nature’s flying experts!

As Habitat leads you through the Garden, we hope you’ll appreciate our outdoor space in new ways by finding the beauty and understanding in things you might not otherwise notice throughout each season.

Spring Cleanup:

How to Tidy Your Outdoor Spaces & Still Protect Wildlife Habitats

By Mark Konlock, Director of Horticulture

©Alex Verstoppen

Now that spring is on our doorstep, it’s easy to get anxious for greener days. We see all the dead ornamental grass stalks, the spent perennial stems, and the autumn leaves collected in our gardens and they give us spring fever!

We want to bolt outside and clean up the yard, garden, or patio as soon as we can because we know that as the days get warmer, there will be more and more gardening tasks to finish.

But, don’t head out with your favorite clippers and rake just yet!

Below are some garden cleanup tips for the spring season that’ll help you balance your desire for a tidy garden area with habitat preservation and protection for your local ecosystem.

Just “Leaf” it Alone Many helpful critters rely on materials in your yard to survive! Although we’re familiar with monarchs making pupae and hanging from a plant, this is not how the majority of caterpillars change into butterflies or moths.

Doug Tallamy’s book, Nature’s Best Hope, reports that 90% of caterpillars and moths pupate on leaf matter or under leaf matter.

Think about not cleaning up so many of your leaves in spring or even fall. Consider transitioning areas to be natural where you just let leaves fall on the ground and stay. If you have to rake, put the leaves on the ground somewhere else. This will also save you the time, energy, and possibly gasoline of leaf cleanup. By doing less, you will actually be helping your local habitats more!

Cut It Out When cutting back perennials that you left in place during the winter season, leave them until any overwintering insects emerge (the temperature is consistently 50 degrees overnight for seven days). Also, be sure to keep an eye out for cocoons and chyrsalises while cutting back, leaving any intact until emergence. If you can’t leave them that long, cut and put them in a more natural area or at the edge of a nearby woods.

Deadwood City Another element of your yard that you need to consider is dead wood and even dead trees. Do what you can to let these materials be, as long as they aren’t hazardous, for the sake of wildlife habitats. Many insects, birds, and even mammals use this deadwood for homes.

Want more tips on how you can be habitat-friendly this spring? Visit GBBG.org/Blog for the full article!

Volunteers & Partners Corporate Partner of the Year Les Stumpf Ford Dar and the late Les Stumpf as well as their family business, Les Stumpf Ford, have been a part of the Garden since 1989 as supporters of the annual campaign, Garden members, and corporate supporters Corey Stumpf, President to our first event – Garden Fair, where they donated a Ford Truck to the event raffle. Later on, Les Stumpf Ford stepped up to become a lead sponsor of TasteBud and WPS Garden of Lights.

With the opening of the Schneider Family Grand Garden in 2018, they sponsored the Les Stumpf Ford Grand Concert Series, allowing the Garden to bring regional and national musical performing artists to our community for the summer season.

The Stumpfs have continued supporting the Garden in so many ways over the years and we’re forever grateful for their ongoing commitment.

Founders’ Award Bay Area Daylily Society The Founders’ Award was created a few years ago to honor a group of volunteers that have impacted the work of the Garden in the past year. This year’s winner is one of our Garden Clubs – the Bay Area Daylily Society, aka the BAD Buds!

Volunteers of the Year Development Susan Baranczyk Susan started her journey with the Garden as a member back in 2001.

Since then, Susan has been an invaluable resource and advisor to the Garden over the years throughout multiple re-branding projects and fundraising initiatives. She has collaborated with the Executive Leadership Team and joined the Nature Nurtures Capital Campaign Leadership Cabinet for our Children's Garden Expansion Project to help us ensure the Garden’s messaging to the public remains aligned with our mission.

Facilities Jim LaFond Jim has quickly become a crucial part of our WPS Garden of Lights crew. He has helped set up and take down nearly all of the 36 displays.

Where most of the light show volunteers are only able to give us one day, Jim will be in two to three times a week. His enthusiasm for the lights has benefited not only the Garden, but it’s inspired the creation of his own light displays at home.

Guest Experience Ann Wasurick

The compassion Ann shows to the people we serve is an inspiration to Terry Vertz, Club President us all. Her personality is infectious This group works hard every year planting, maintaining, and her smile, even through a face and cutting back the daylily beds found along the covering, makes everyone around pathway to the Meyer Bridge. Through their help, the her happy. She helps to make the Garden has received national recognition by the Garden a better place, and without American Hemerocallis Society as a daylily display garden. her, Thursday mornings would not be the same.

Events Mary Silha Mary is always a welcoming face to our guests, staff, and other volunteers. She has served in many roles at the Garden: ambassador for events and exhibits; working WPS Garden of Lights, assisting with children’s activities, and more! Mary helps train and welcome new volunteers to their area.

of the Year Horticulture Glenn Landis

Events Mary Van Dyck Over the last year and a half, Mary has provided volunteer hours needed in parking and helping the Garden prepare and send out bulk mailings.

She is one of a few key volunteers we can always count on to get people safely into the Garden to enjoy events. She has volunteered in all weather conditions (snow, rain, and sleet) and always does it with a smile.

Glenn wears many hats when it comes to volunteering as part of the Horticulture Team. Not only does he help with maintenance tasks and WPS Garden of Lights setup, but he also assists with managing our plant collections. This year, he has been an immense help to the team, assisting in the completion of the annual inventory of each area of the Garden.

Education Dale Bartel

Events Mike Malchow Mike has given so much of his time to help the Garden especially over the last year and a half, checking in and directing guests on their way to a memorable experience. Mike started volunteering in concessions and now he’s at the front desk helping guests safely experience the Garden through events such as concerts and WPS Garden of Lights. We couldn’t do what we do for all of our guests without volunteers like Mike!

Horticulture Gene Arendt A long-time member and supporter, Gene is at the Garden on almost a daily basis caring for the conifers and perennials that make up the Arendt Conifer Garden. Not only does Gene maintain the plants, but he inventories the collection yearly and also funds the ongoing care and addition of plants as we promote the hardiness of conifers in our area.

Dale has been a Garden member and volunteer for many years, and more recently joined the small group of volunteer tour guides in Education.

As a former teacher, Dale has been the perfect addition.

Specializing in the one-hour Express Garden Tours, Dale gets to share the Garden story with visitors stopping in from around the country – and sometimes the world!

Special Recognition John Oates John can be found at the Garden during concerts, exhibits, or simply just taking a stroll with his camera. He’s one of the volunteer photographers behind a number of spectacular shots of the Garden that appear in our newsletters, print pieces, emails, and on Facebook or Instagram. Without his talents, the Marketing Team wouldn’t be able to tell the Garden’s story in such a vibrant and visual way.
