The West Chicago Garden Club

I know you read this on page one but it bears repeating… the June 27^th general monthly meeting of the Garden Club will be held at the Kruse Garden. Arrive a little early to allow time to stroll around and get a good look at the gardens. Don’t miss this opportunity to gather in a lovely garden.  If the weather won’t cooperate we will have to go to our usual meeting place at the church.  Boo hoo if that happens!

One thing you want to check out is the stone wall behind the pond.  Pam Lurz and her husband Greg did a superb job of rebuilding it! As you can see they are hard at work on the left and right shows wall half done.  It went from a messy pile of rocks to a handsome stacked wall with about 12hours of their skilled labor. Pam says “We started building stone walls in our own yard because it has lots of small flagstones buried in the soil. I’ve always joked that we could build a quarry in our back yard. In one area it’s almost 50% rock. After a while we started using the rocks to edge the grass and then started building low stone walls.”  We are very grateful for their work! Thank you Pam & Greg!

The honeysuckle vine by the shed door is a handsome sight and the iris right next to it was stunning!  See you in the garden.
