Local Plants for Sale at Garden Fair May 17

A staple of spring in north Evanston for many years is the annual Garden Fair, tho participating organizations and locations have varied. This Saturday, May 17, from 9am to 4pm at Ackerman Park (Central St. at McDaniel), the Lincolnwood Garden Club will maintain the tradition. The fair is both a fundraiser for the Club and a chance to supplement your garden. Members and supporters of the Garden Club donate plants from their own gardens, which are offered to the public, often below retail prices. Also, because they come from local gardens, there is a confidence level that the plants will thrive here. Over the years, the number of native plant offerings has increased, as well. Pleasant weather is predicted for this Saturday; worth coming by with your pup or stroller!
