Glenview Gardeners Glenview, Illinois
History:
During regular breakfast meetings of the Glenview Chamber of Commerce, a
frequent subject of conversation was gardening and the Glenview
Gardeners club was born. While specialty groups were well-established,
the new group would focus on the general aspects of planning,
designing, establishing and maintaining gardens and the rewards
associated with both the interior and exterior landscaping of a home.
The first meeting was held in January of 1991 and the group has met
every month since.
Purpose: To
bring together men and women who enjoy gardening to advance the
knowledge of horticulture and to promote gardening in the Village of
Glenview.
Programs: Please refer to the Calender of Events page for program information.
Member benefits: Monthly
newsletter, garden catalog and magazine exchange, seed & plant

and the annual Holiday dinner.
