Join "Farmstead Chef" co-authors, Lisa Kivirist and John Ivanko for a discussion of our culinary heritage and nation's revival of farmstead roots of independence, self sufficiency and frugality, blended with the spice of modern living and a passion for transforming our planet. A dinner inspired by "Farmstead Chef" will be served. Following dinner Wisconsin Historical Society Press author Lee Somerville will discuss her recent book, Vintage Wisconsin Gardens: A History of Home Gardening. Lee will introduce us to Wisconsin's ornamental gardens of the 19th and 20th centuries, showcasing regional gardens created by landscaping enthusiasts for their own use and pleasure.
