A sweet deal
Among the vendors that attended the Elmhurst Garden Walk and Faire was the Illinois Bee Rescue project, which offered many varieties and flavors of natural honey.
Another successful Garden Walk & Faire has come and gone for the Elmhurst Garden Club, and it appears to be a rousing success.
It was perfect “garden” weather, albeit a little warm, temperatures creeping toward the 90s by mid-afternoon.
Members were stationed at the various homes to assist with the garden tours. The annual walk always features a public garden; this year, it was the Wilder Park Conservatory, which is currently celebrating its 100th anniversary.
Proceeds fund scholarships for college or university students studying horticulture, environmental studies or other related sciences.
Since 1996, the club has distributed in excess of $210,000 in scholarships.
