Summer is shyly slipping into Door County - we’ve passed Memorial Day - so your plantng can begin according to WI lore.

While visiting Baileys House, be sure to visit the Ridges Sanctuary just a pleasant walk from the house. From hiking on the beautiful boardwalk, to education on the Indigenous Peoples of Door, the Ridges is a wealth of knowledge on Door and worth an afternoon’s visit. Did you know that through their collaboration with entities such as the North American Orchid Conservation Center (based at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center), University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Illinois College, Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Chicago Botanic Garden, and others, Ridges has quickly become a leader in orchid research in the Midwest?
