Village Gardens

Village Gardens is a destination greenhouse and outdoor event space in Plover, near Stevens Point in central Wisconsin, that has been helping visitors bring their gardening and event dreams to life since 2000. An acre and a half of flower gardens features a pond, bridge, and wedding gazebo, providing a garden backdrop for outdoor weddings, bridal and baby showers, and family and senior portrait sessions. Owners Dawn and Keith Dziak and a staff of certified gardeners tend the greenhouse and gardens, which also include a gift shop stocked with pottery, metal sculpture, concrete statuary, fountains, and local art, plus a cafe serving locally roasted coffee, smoothies, and ice cream. Visitors can also stroll the miniature village, view sculptures and water features, and see the resident goats and chickens. Outdoor weddings take place in the gardens from Memorial Day weekend through October 1, depending on weather.
