Scheig Center Gardens in Appleton Memorial Park feature many gardens including a native rose garden, serenity butterfly garden, native wildflower garden, fragrance garden, and Veterans memorial garden. Benches placed throughout the grounds encourage visitors to sit and enjoy the colors, textures, varieties, and fragrances of the plantings. Gardens are open to the public for free admission year-round. We invite you to stroll through the themed gardens which have been designed to offer changing patterns of natural beauty throughout the year. Most of the plants featured are native to Wisconsin.
