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.
