This cache is part of the “Monk Gardens Series” located at the Robert W. Monk Gardens in Wausau. The Monk Gardens are Central Wisconsin’s first public botanical gardens. Development of the twenty-acre parcel has been ongoing since it was donated in 2004. The gardens currently have a system of walking trails and are open to the public from dawn to dusk in all seasons. Permission for these caches was granted by the Board of Directors. For more information, see their website: (visit link)
