History
During regular breakfast meetings of the Glenview Chamber of Commerce, a frequent subject of conversation was gardening.  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.
