Tucked away on the corner of a quiet residential neighborhood in the small town of
Viroqua, WI resides a plant nursery called Little Bird Plants. Little Bird Plants is owned by
Sarah, who is the third owner of the nursery in the last decade. Sarah has transformed the
space into a serene sanctuary of plants, community events and local artisanal crafts,
where people love to gather for live music, a walk in the greenhouse and seasonal events.
This Valentines Day, Little Bird Plants is partnering with a local chef to offer a unique date
idea for couples: a picnic amongst the plants. The event includes a picnic spread curated
by a personal chef, dessert from a local baker, and a plant from Little Bird all tucked into a
basket for couples to enjoy in a beautiful setting. The Valentines Day picnic offers couples
a chance to escape the February chill in the warmth of the greenhouse and enjoy some
quality time with their loved one while supporting local businesses. Did you never dream it
would be possible to spread a blanket under the swaying leaves of a banana tree and enjoy
a picnic in the middle of Wisconsin winter? This year, it is.
