 Let's keep this short and sweet. The holiday season is speeding by. If the idea of Christmas shopping makes you break out in a sweat, and you've run out of ideas, you're not alone. I've compiled a list of gift ideas for the Wisconsin nature lovers, birders, and gardeners in your life. There's sure to be something for everyone. Happy Holidays! The gift that lasts all year...

I'm so happy I found your blog! I've been researching about Wisconsin garden-related blogs and I happened on yours. I'm stopping by Midwestern garden blogs to invite folks to the Garden Bloggers Fling. This year, we'll be in the Midwest--in Madison, Wisconsin--in June. You can find out more by visiting my blog, or google "garden bloggers fling." (I didn't want to insert a link because it might go to spam.) Invite your garden blogging friends, too! (I'm making note of your gift ideas--thanks!) Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
