Kenosha has a Botanical Garden? A real Botanical Garden? No, that's the problem. If the city of Janesville can support a fabulous Botanical Garden such as Rotary Gardens, then the Kenosha/Racine area can too. I've been trying to establish one in the area since I moved here some 11 years ago.
Here's where we stand. I presented my ideas and plans to Art Strong who runs the Parks Department for the City of Kenosha in 2006. He offered up the entire north side of Poerio Park (that's about 20 acres). More than enougth to do something spectacular - Rotary Gardens has around 15 acres.
The problem? Money, the city has no money in their budget for this venture. He told me to line up a committee (which I don't have) and develop some fund-raising ideas (which I have) and then we can get the ball rolling.
I have the design, I have some ideas for funds - I NEED PEOPLE!

UPDATE
Kenosha Botanical Garden
I have spoken to several of the candidates running for Mayor for the City of Kenosha. Mr. Bosman, Mr. Moran and Mr. Barter are all in favor of the Gardens. The location has yet to be determined as more Parks are being thrown in for consideration, namely Lincoln Park, Eichleman Park, Kennedy Park and Petzke Park.
I hope that after the spring elections are over, we'll be moving forward in this venture. If you have any desire to participate in the Kenosha Botanical Gardens, Please visit TheShrubber online Garden Club forum via the link above.

I'm always on the lookout for something new. Check these folks out.
A few train enthusiasts in the Kenosha, WI area formed the club in 2001. Today we have ten members who reside in the Kenosha and Racine areas and are looking forward to grow the organization into the premier model railroad train club in the Southeastern Wisconsin area.
One of the best ways to learn about large scale outdoor garden railroading is by sharing experiences and knowledge with other enthusiasts. The Kenosha Garden Railway Society is a group of friendly people dedicated to the passion of garden railroading.
Even though our organization is exclusive to garden railroading, many of our individual members model other scales including HO and O scale. They share their experiences and knowledge they gained from other scale model trains and contribute to the success of our organization.
Whether you are curious about model railroading or a seasoned hobbyist, you and your family are invited to join in the fun of large scale model garden railroading. Become part of our group and please consider joining our organization.
