Olbrich Botanical Gardens presents six garden sanctuaries in the wooded Village of Shorewood Hills. Rooted in a long history of sustainable practices, the Village and its residents value green initiatives, prioritizing the future well-being of their neighborhood, Lake Mendota, and the greater City of Madison & beyond.
