Greening the Laurentian Forest

Growing anything in the Laurentian shield is no easy task, but Crane Lake boasts at least two premiere Northwoods gardeners who annually demonstrate that "stuff" can grow in rocks. Jacque (Jacki) Eggen and Shelly Ward are talented "green-thumbers". Jacque amazes visitors to Nelson's Resort with a picturesque vegetable garden...and, Shelly is likewise artistic in creating an unbelievable flower display at Voyager Lodge.
