West Chicago Garden Club

This garden has perennials mixed with annuals in a horseshoe shaped flower garden and vegetables grown in raised beds. There are also a couple of water gardens, a potting shed and a compost gazebo.

This garden has lots of space for beds, it has a shade garden, full sun, and what the gardener jokingly calls his "spare junk garden". One interesting feature of this garden is that he's growing an endangered species of a flower. Also interesting to note is that he grows a lot of his perennials from seed that he starts in the winter.

Located in an industrial area in town, this garden is a beautiful surprise as you walk through the gate in the fence that surrounds it. From the spectacular roses to the extensive vegetables, the riot of color is incredible.

The member who owns this garden was the speaker at our May meeting.   She creates everlasting floral designs as a home-based business and this is her “Production Garden”. This garden is used to grow the huge number of everlasting flowers that she needs. The barn that is used for drying and storing many of the everlastings is also interesting to take a “peek” into.
