Milton Public Library Story Gardens

Hi, my name is Samantha Caches! I am a senior at UW Madison studying Landscape and Urban Studies. I am currently working with the Milton Public Library staff to design a portion of their Story Garden, an open air branch of the library that promotes literacy and life-long learning through its literature-based themes and outdoor library programs. Our job is to create a space that children of the Milton community can memorialize their pet and understand what it means to do so! Our goal is to design a welcoming outdoor space where people can celebrate their pets, enjoy nature native to Wisconsin, and reap the mental, emotional, and physical benefits of the outdoors. The money raised will go directly towards the Milton Public Library to help complete this project!
