On behalf of everyone at Roots and Branches, thank you Melinda Myers for your outstanding presentation last night at The Bend Theater!
Your immense knowledge, passion (& humor at times), and approachable style made the evening both inspiring and practical for gardeners of all experience levels--even the new folks. The information you shared about pollinators and native plant gardening truly energized our community and gave attendees meaningful ways to make a difference in their own landscapes.
We were also so grateful for the engaged, enthusiastic & generous audience who came out to support the event. Their presence — and their ongoing support of Roots and Branches — is invaluable to us and to the continued beautification and vibrancy of our community. Seeing everyone gathered together with a shared love of gardening and nature was a wonderful reminder of why our work matters. We hope all the raffle winners enjoy their items!

We hope to see all the guests again soon....from our Plant Sale Fundraiser starting TOMORROW! (Friday, May 15th 11am-7pm and Saturday, May 16th 8am-1pm) located on the corner of Vine and Main Street here in West Bend to our upcoming bus trip to Rose Innovations!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month — a reminder that caring for our minds is just as important as caring for our bodies. 💚

One simple but powerful way to support mental wellness is by connecting with nature. Gardening, planting flowers, spending time among trees, and creating beautiful outdoor spaces can help reduce stress, improve mood, ease anxiety, and bring a greater sense of peace and connection.

There’s something healing about getting your hands in the soil and watching flowers grow. Nature encourages us to slow down, breathe deeply, and be present in the moment. Have you paused to feel the wind, listen to the birds - or smell the roses? Well, perhaps once they bloom, right?!

At Roots and Branches, we believe greener spaces help create healthier, happier communities. This month, take time to step outside, plant something beautiful, and reconnect with the natural world around you. If you're looking for a place or a way to connect, we have plenty of opportunities for volunteering! Visit www.rootsbranches.org
