northbrooktowerdaily.com life & arts the northbrook tower | September 12, 2019 | 37 Garden Club continues to beautify Northbrook community Chris Pullam Freelance Reporter The Northbrook Garden Club specializes in plants, but its impact extends far beyond the flowerbed. Since 1949, the nonprofit’s members have awarded college scholarships to Glenbrook North graduates, created habitats for monarch butterflies, and provided garden therapy to nursing home residents. And true to its name, the club has beautified — and oftentimes created — gardens all over Northbrook, from memorials at the Village Green and Coast Guard Park to plots across the village’s parks to the entirety of Rogan Prairie. “In recognition of the many contributions to the community by the Northbrook Garden Club over the past 70 years,” Village President Sandra Frum recently recognized the week of Sept. 15 as Northbrook Garden Club Week “Garden Club members are concerned citizens willing to devote their time and talents to the preservation, conservation and beautification of our community’s natural treasures,” read her proclamation. For Diane Freeman, president of the Northbrook Garden Club, her involvement has allowed her to benefit the village while nurturing her passion. “I joined because I loved to garden, but I wasn’t an expert,” she said. “I simply enjoyed it and wanted to learn more. I think a lot of our members are like that. We have members of all levels, but that’s OK, because we have something for everyone.” The club’s members take part in educational programs, flower shows, garden walks and workshops to advance their expertise. At 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 16, for example, the group will host award-winning landscape architect Craig Bergmann at the Northbrook Public Library to learn more about the aesthetic of landscape design. “Bergmann is arguable one of the best landscape architects in Illinois, so it’s a huge bonus that someone of that stature will come to speak to our community,” Freeman said. “He will discuss how to combine nature and design to create a healthy and beautiful environment.” The event, like most organized by the Garden Club, is open to the public. Past speakers have included the likes of Northbrook resident Stephen Packard, the founding director of Audubon Chicago Region and past director of science and stewardship at the Illinois Nature Conservancy. Programs also go beyond the basics of gardening, and can even touch on subjects as complex as the relationship between native plants and local wildlife. The club also hosts an annual Perennials Plant Sale, which encourages the use of native and other perennial plants for home gardens. The sale’s proceeds fund the club’s many activities, as well at its annual scholarship to a graduating GBN senior who has shown a demonstrable interest in gardening, conservation or the environment. Thanks to the sale — as well as partnerships with the Village of Northbrook, Northbrook Park District, and various other local agencies—the club has initiated many programs across the village, including Let’s Make Northbrook a Monarch Way Station. Through the program, Garden Club members have given away more than 700 milkweed saplings at their plant sale and other venues. Since milkweed is the only food source for monarch caterpillars, its decline has led to a significant decline in the butterfly’s overall population. Earlier this year, the club started a new project — the Northbrook Historic Peony Preservation Project — in partnership with the Village of Northbrook, Northbrook Park District and Northbrook Historical Society. The effort aims to preserve hundreds of peonies transplanted by Edward “Bud” Smith from the original Northbrook Gardens. His grandfather, William F. Christman Sr., managed the Northbrook Gardens from 1928 to 1945 on the former Sky Harbor Airport site The preservation project began with fieldwork toward the end of May. While the flowers were hidden in an overgrown field on the 3-acre property, the conservationists quickly discovered an abundance of 1 The Northbrook Garden Club helps tend the Northbrook Historical Society’s west Please see garden, 41 THE FALL AREA RUGSALE Lowest Prices of the Season Now Through June 4th SAVE UP TO 50% OFF SELECT RUGS THROUGHSEPTEMBER 30 TH 1840 Skokie Boulevard Northbrook, IL60062 847.835.2400 www.lewisfloorandhome.com garden, one of the many areas in the community the club helps preserve.
