Growing a Better Community In West Bend

Our Mission: To grow a more beautiful community today and plant seeds of pride and stewardship to improve the natural environment of West Bend tomorrow.

Roots and Branches is a local non-profit positively impacting the natural environment of greater West Bend, WI.

We instill pride and commitment in all ages through the following programs: Educational Seminars, Spring Cleanup of our parks and green spaces, Arbor Day School Program in the area elementary schools, Adopt-a-plot Gardens around West Bend, High School Scholarship, and Recognition Awards to private residences and businesses for caring for their properties.

We have three key fundraising events throughout the year, a Plant Sale in May, featuring locally grown winter-hardy annuals and perennials, the Gardens of West Bend Tour in July, and the annual Garden Party fundraiser in September.
