Thank you to eleven volunteers who spent the morning of Saturday, April 4 at Wilson Green and The Gateway Garden spreading mulch, pruning evergreens, cutting back grasses, and picking up litter. Fun to work along side such energetic and hard working volunteers!
Add the 1st Saturday of every month to your calendar so you can be sure to volunteer. Next date is Saturday, May 2 from 9 a.m. to noon, starting at The Gateway Garden. We rely on volunteers to maintain the gardens - without you, the gardens couldn't exist.
Hope to see you in 2026!

The Annual Meeting on Wednesday, March 25 was an energetic and creative gathering. We made plans for 2026, including revamping Wilson Green and improving our social media presence. More details to come.
You're looking at our new website! The old website was a challenge to maintain because it required expertise in coding to keep it current. Fortunately, the new platform does not - all you have to do is type! And you can now make a donation on-line! - click Donate to the Gardens.

Blair Street Gardens is sad to announce the passing of Jeff Kuesel, our founder and President for almost 30 years. He was devoted to the gardens, spending endless hours fundraising, planning, and selecting plants. And then spent even more hours carefully planting and tending the gardens. Quite simply, without Jeff there would be no gardens. Jeff was also a devoted public servant, working for years as a drafter of legislation at the Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau. He retired from BSG and LRB in 2013. He died on January 13 at the age of 78. We so appreciate his dedication and contributions to Madison and Wisconsin.
