“Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are.” Alfred Austin
A Bouquet of Gratitude!
By all accounts “Every Garden Tells a Story” was enjoyed by all that toured the six DGC Member gardens on Saturday July 20th, 2024. Our guests came from a wide area of Chicagoland and their feedback was positive. We heard over and over that they appreciated the diversity of our gardens, and they were also “inspired” by our hosts’ stories and their wonderful creations.
A Special Thanks To:
Our Garden Walk Chairs, Garden Hosts, Captains, Docents, Sponsors, and Everyone that Attended to Support Our Club’s Garden Walk AND…
Thank You To Our Garden Walk Event Sponsor
