Gardening is fun and sharing information and plants with other gardeners is more fun. The West Chicago Garden Club plant sale will be a fun place to be on Saturday, May 17th.
The Plant Sale runs from 9:00AM until 2:00PM in conjunction with the West Chicago Blooming Fest which includes many vendors and crafters as-well-as a 5K run/walk and 2K Family Fun Run sponsored by We Grow Dreams. Look for our tent on Galena Street in downtown West Chicago.
This is a special year for the plant sale as it is the 10th anniversary of the event and hundreds of member plants have been dug, potted and prepared for this sale. When you buy a member’s plant you know you are getting a mature flowering perennial that is well suited to our local environment.
As an extra bonus there will be a good assortment of hard-to-find “naturals” like ferns, may- apples, wild ginger and even trillium available. Come to the sale early for the best selection and then spend some quality time experiencing Blooming Fest.
Gardeners who want to discuss special needs are welcome to chat with members of West Chicago Garden Club and our on-site arborist. West Chicago Garden Club has a wide variation of members; men and women, old and young, master gardeners and beginners. Come join the fun on Saturday.
A portion of the profits from the Plant Sale will be donated to the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance.
