Simply beautiful warm fall days continue in Deerfield. Friday was one of those days giving us the opportunity for some garden clean up and spring bulb planting. Many thanks to the hard working volunteers from the Lake County Master Gardener: University of Illinois Extension program and the Northbrook Garden Club.
