Looking for unique, one-of-a-kind holiday gifts that support local artisans and a good cause? Visit the Aldo Leopold Nature Center’s Holiday Market, where you’ll find a curated selection of local, sustainable artists and makers in a festive, eco-conscious atmosphere! Browse nature-inspired art, handcrafted jewelry, hand-dyed scarves, handspun yarns, and delicious locally made foods — all while supporting creativity, community, and conservation.

I’m especially excited to participate in this market near my Monona Farmers Market stomping grounds! This smaller, intentionally curated event highlights artists whose work and business missions center on environmental awareness and sustainability — values close to my heart. Plus, my good friend A Botanical Dyery will be there too, sharing her stunning naturally dyed textiles and slow-stitch creations.

With free admission and parking, it’s the perfect place to shop local, find meaningful gifts, and celebrate the season surrounded by nature.
