Gardeners know Memorial Day signals the beginning of the gardening season – not the end. We want to spend the lazy, hazy days of summer with our hands in the soil and our hearts in our gardens. We have planned a Summer Gardening Extravaganza from Saturday, July 10 through Sunday, July 18 just for gardeners like you! We have two special speakers coming to share their gardening passions with you.

First, Shawna Coronado, author of Gardening Nude, will be here on Saturday, July 10 from 1-2 p.m. to share how she turned her traditional garden and lawn space into an area to feed the hungry while maintaining its beauty and utilizing sustainable gardening techniques.

Next, Marci Lebowitz (The Kitchen Anarchist) will be here on Saturday, July 17 from 1-2 p.m. to teach us how to prepare simple, quick and delightful dishes fresh from the garden. She will share tips, recipes and tastings of hors d’oeuvres and salads using fresh herbs, veggies and fruits that will astound the palette.

The cost to attend either presentation is $10 and registration is required. Call 630-293-1040 ext. 2.

Each day of the extravaganza will feature a different group of plants on sale for that day only. Info with details of the daily sales will be sent to our customers by email, so sign up to receive our newsletter today!

Enjoy summer gardening!
