The West Chicago Garden Club

By Barbara Darrah

It’s a little difficult to write about Kruse this week. I’ve been out of the country for a week. When I left, the temperature was in the sixties. The daffodils were bursting out of the ground. Now they are covered with snow and it is well below freezing. Well, that is spring in the Midwest.

In Istanbul, it was early spring, but they had canceled their tulip festival and everything in the palace gardens was BIG – grasses, trees and ponds – so I am still missing our small ponds and flower filled borders.

During the last few weeks, the Kruse crew has met for coffee and discussions of this year’s plans. Because so many of us were traveling in March, we decided to postpone spring cleanup. What a good idea since everything is now covered with snow. However we will be back in April so if you have an hour or two on a Wednesday or Saturday morning, we would love to have you join us.
