In "Vintage Wisconsin Gardens: A History of Home Gardening," author Lee Somerville introduces readers to the region's ornamental gardens of the 19th and early 20th centuries, showcasing the "vernacular" gardens created by landscaping enthusiasts for their own use and pleasure.

'Vintage Wisconsin Gardens.' The presentation is titled "A History of Home Gardening" and is sponsored by Madison Area Master Gardeners Association and Wisconsin Hardy Plant Society. A book signing will follow.
