The Blue Star Committee headed by Jan Nussbaum have been busy weeding, pruning and tidying up prior to Memorial Day. Take a moment to walk through the area right in front of Graceland Cemetery on Rt 24 in Fairbury. There are many names of service members engraved on the brick walkway. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Garden Club members Kim Plastina, Karen Munz, and Pam Ifft visited each 3rd grade class at PC Elementary on May 7th. Each child received a packet of flower seeds. The students learned what plants need to grow , where they could plant their seeds and how to enter their flowers in August at the Fairbury Fair. The students were excited to go home and plant their seeds.🌼🌱🪴☀️

Reflecting on last year's garden can be a great way to plan for the season ahead. What worked well? What are you planting again? What would you have planted sooner? These are just a few prompts to start planning intentionally.

In preparation for the new gardening season, use this 'When to Plant in Illinois' guide to help map out a planting schedule for success.
