Thanks for the great information on pollinating Kevin!
Gosh, I live in Wisconsin and never even heard of Alpine Gardens! However, when I googled them, two Alpine Gardens in Wisconsin came up. I think the one you've contacted is in Monroe, WI. My husband just said that we can take a motorcycle ride there one of these weekends, so I will pick you up a list.
Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you building new gardens. Can't wait to see pictures!
