Yorkville Garden Walk Features Five Different Gardens

The garden walk will be held on June 22.

The following release was provided by the Yorkville Garden Club:

The Fox River is the backdrop for the large yard belonging to Jeremy and Ruth Porter. Their property is enhanced with fruit trees, perennials, shrubs and mature trees, and the landscaping leading from the house to the river is the perfect place to linger and reflect upon the scenery.

This garden and four others can be viewed on Saturday, June 22.  The Garden Walk will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. rain or shine. Tickets are $10 each before the day of the walk and $12 the day of the walk. Tickets are available now through the Garden Club’s Website:  www.yorkvillegardenclub.org.

The Yorkville Garden Club was founded in February 1995 by a group of friends who shared a love of flowers and gardening.  Members continue that love of flowers and gardening and strive to make a difference in the community.

The Yorkville Garden Club offers two annual scholarships, and the scholarship fund is supported solely through the Garden Walk held every two years. The Garden Club provides a monthly newsletter for members, enriching and informative programs, camaraderie with fellow garden enthusiasts, and the satisfaction of volunteering in the community. 

The club meets on the first Thursday of every month February through November.  Monthly meetings are held at 7:00 p.m. at 215 Hillcrest Ave., Yorkville, IL.  Prospective members are welcome at any meeting and are eligible to join our club at an annual membership fee of $20.
