We’re so excited to welcome Tim Welch to join us. He will be doing some tidying up at the gardens with his w**d wacker! He wanted to become involved because communities with beautiful gardens are communities he wants to be a part of. ❤️ If you’d like to join us and volunteer your time shoot us a message, we’d love to hear from you. **d

Have you checked out the canoe 🛶 launch garden lately? Evidence that it’s not just a sanctuary for our pollinators.

Visiting our friends at Jones Country Gardens in Streator - and they have butterfly w**d! If you haven’t tried it in your yard, hurry and get some! It is a form of milkw**d and a host plant for the monarch butterfly!

The butterfly w**d is doing amazing and we’re pretty excited to have this Annabel hydrangea blooming! It was shared from the garden of Pat Melrose, we’re so grateful for community friends who care! 🦋 🌸
