| Members of the Wisconsin Garden Railway Society come from all over the state to show off their large-scale model trains. You'll see different trains, depending on the day. This year, trains wind through an enchanted land of fanciful gingerbread houses created by Madison area bakers. Admire gingerbread buildings complete with candy cane porch pillars, shaved almond roofs, and walkways made of cookiesOlbrich's Growing Gifts shop is loaded with garden-related gifts for friends and family.
