Second Nature at Reads Creek

Second Nature at Reads Creek is a destination nursery, greenhouse, gift shop and landscape design center. Set in the rural Driftless region of Southwestern Wisconsin, the nursery is nestled in a verdant valley along a meandering Class A trout stream just 7 miles south of Viroqua. Once you have visited, you will understand why people drive from hours away to experience the tranquility of our valley, and return year after year for our community events, high-quality plants and landscaping services. The setting radiates a slow-down, take-in, look and linger atmosphere just south of Viroqua. The site has a decades’ long history of horticultural endeavors. Our family has worked hard each year to enhance and expand the nursery, creating more and more opportunities to share it with our community. From eagle watching to splashing in the creek to a picnic on our porch, you may come for the plants but you will stay for the experience!

We are looking for volunteers to help during community events that support non-profits (for example, our Dog Days of Summer collaboration with three non-profits, or the River Valley Raptors educational day.
