Public Tour of Cooper Park & Member Tour of Judy Mead's Garden
Public Welcome Family-Friendly Recording Available Free Event Public Garden Tour Home/Private Garden Tour Wheelchair Accessible Free Public Parking
This two part event features a public tour of a public garden and a member tour of a private garden.
Cooper Park: Cooper Park is a neighborhood park located near Mary Mount University. Friends of Cooper Park (FOCP) organized and sponsored the pollinator garden on the northwest corner of the park. The first portion was planted in 2019 and two more installments followed. It is filled with native plants to support pollinators. This project was spearheaded by Wild Ones member Judy Mead and is maintained by volunteers. The garden is recognized as a demonstration site for the broader community and is used as a model for other parks within the Milwaukee park system. Judy will discuss the project and lead a tour of the property.
This is a free event and open to the public. No need to register.
Judy’s Garden: After the park tour, Wild Ones members are invited to a private tour of Judy Mead’s gardens. This picture perfect space is a must see for anyone looking for ideas on how to incorporate more native plants into a small yard or just loves native plants. The house is a short walk from the park. Details will be provided after the park tour.
