Something new will be happening this year in Shakespeare Garden. Gwyneth Dean Fastnacht with help from Mrs. Sarah Larson from WS Elementary School will be working with the 2nd grade class to plant flower seeds and transplant them in their own flowerbed at Shakespeare Garden. It will be fun to watch the 2nd Graders' Flowerbed throughout the season.

Prairie Yard & Garden is a 30-minute television show about gardening in the Upper Midwest. Each season, PY&G travels the state to meet with researchers, gardening and nursery professionals, educators and ordinary backyard gardeners to discuss specific issues in horticulture, landscaping and a host of topics in gardening.
Television Hostess, Mary Holm, interviews Shakespeare Garden board members at the garden. The story of how Shakespeare ended up in South Dakota all began with a group of passionate gardeners who wanted to create a beautiful outdoor space that celebrated the works of the famous playwright. Along with the interesting history of Shakespeare Garden in Wessington Springs the show is interspersed with expert's tips and knowledge of native plants and perennials.
