"Wisconsin-Happy Festival State", by Eve Phillips. My husband and I love to travel in the state of Wisconsin where we live and get great pictures on the way. My name is Laurie Kutil and photography has become a great passion of mine since 2010. One thing I have learned in researching each town before visiting it is that, "Every town has it's story". When I do uncover those stories by connecting with local residents, our experience becomes so much richer. In turn, sharing the stories with you brings me joy :)
West of the Lake Gardens is a jewel in Manitowoc, accessible from the Mariner’s Trail also. A beautiful garden for all to enjoy, many volunteers keep it looking that way. The have many kinds of flowers, artfully arranged.
The Formal Garden
Mae West Garden with Proud Bird Sculpture
The Red and White Garden
The Rose Garden
The Sunken Garden
We are done with our tour, a great place to visit in the heart of the city.
Actually, they were there. It was open to the pubic only once a year in the 1950’s for the “West of the Lake Tulip Tea”. The tulips were gone by 1967, and the gardens have continued to grow since then.
These gardens are absolutely beautiful. I never knew they existed, well perhaps they didn’t when I lived in the area. Great pictures Laurie!
