We invite you to experience a true "garden community" at Destination KOHLER, from the lush gardens of The American Club to The Shops at Woodlake and the championship golf courses of Blackwolf Run and Whistling Straits. Enjoy all the natural areas that weave throughout quaint neighborhoods in the Village of Kohler. And now, enjoy your choice of three, self-guided audio tours - The Arts & Industry Walk, Prairie & Arboretum Walk, Exploring a Garden Community Walk.
During the one-hour tours, a pre-recorded narration explains various plantings in the gardens in the Village of Kohler. Tours are available to resort guests and the general public, who can check out audio wands at The American Club, Kohler Gardener at The Shops at Woodlake or the Inn on Woodlake.
The seeds for the gardens of Kohler were planted in 1913 when Walter J. Kohler, Sr., traveled to Europe to study garden cities. He then worked with the Olmsted Brothers, whose landscape firm designed Central Park in New York City, to plan the green spaces that beautify the Village of Kohler and Kohler Co. campus - a 50-year master plan. The idea blossomed for decades, and a second 50-year plan of growth, under guidelines established by The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, was completed in 1977. This plan actively called for continued community development in the Village of Kohler with a focus on environmental sensitivity, tree plantings and woodland and wetland preservation, making the village an ideal community for Kohler Co. associates, residents and visitors alike.
