Electronic Press Kit

Create Your Own Outdoor Paradise – 2025 Library Program
with garden expert & author Melinda Myers in conjunction with
Wisconsin Public Libraries and Upper Peninsula of Michigan Libraries


Dear Library Partner,

We’re excited to share this year’s garden programming from Melinda Myers with your library so you can use it with your patrons April – June.  Be sure to check out the program website where Melinda is offering 3 webinars and 3 gardening activities and videos.  It's all free for your library thanks to We Energies. We encourage you to develop additional activities, book lists, story times, and more tied to the gardening topics. Consider hosting a webinar watch party, inviting patrons to do the program activities in groups at your library, and including the downloadable activity guides in your take-and-make kits
