Relax, swim, wander and enjoy true natural beauty!
Find Your Sanctuary at Second Nature
Second Nature at Reads Creek is a destination nursery, greenhouse, gift shop, and landscape design center. Now, this is not your typical quick-stop, parking lot, rush-rush garden center… They encourage everyone to wander and wonder, dream and plan, and find the colors, textures, shapes, and sizes that speak to your heart. From the koi pond to the rocking chairs on the porch overlooking the valley, this gem is calling your name. Located at S7301Hwy 14/61 just north of Readstown, Wisconsin, you will come for the plants but stay for the experience!
Location, Location, Location!
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 hours away to experience the tranquility of their valley, and return year after year for the high-quality plants and landscaping services. The nursery is a safe haven, a place of renewal and rejuvenation. It’s a place where worries of the outside world fade away as you begin to stroll amongst the plants and listen to the water coursing over the rocks in the valley or watch the eagles fly high above their nest on the property. With the vast collections of annual and perennial plants offered, it makes finding that elusive something special for your garden feel like a dreamy pleasure-hunt.
