Shownotes

On this episode, I sit down with Lisa Kitzke, the director of Roots and Branches, to talk about the organization’s dedication to making West Bend a more beautiful place to live. We dive into the mission of Roots and Branches—not just about planting flowers and keeping things looking nice, but also about environmental stewardship and building a stronger sense of community. Lisa shares the history of the organization, which started back in 1990, and how it has grown over the past 35 years, including initiatives like the Adopt a Plot program. We also talk about the importance of green spaces and how they contribute to a thriving community. Plus, Lisa shares ways people can get involved and make a real impact right here in our own backyard.
