About Us
Organized: June, 2006
Meetings: 1st Tuesday @ 5:30 or 6:00 p.m.
2020 began with Plantaholics looking forward to a year of sharing our garden knowledge with each other. January was all about what plants were our favorites and what plants were our least favorite. You can learn a lot about a person by their plant tastes! February was small group landscape planning for a member’s garden. The creative side of our members shone through on that project! March was all about seed
starting. The perfect project to begin our Zone 5b gardening season.
And then, Covid-19 entered our realm. Restrictions on size and location of gatherings had us sheltered in our own
gardens. If you are stuck someplace, a garden is a pretty
good place to be stuck!
By August we were able to gather for a tour of the gardens outside Nicholas Conservatory. Followed in September
with a walk about at Klehm Arboretum and Botanic Garden and a guided tour of Anderson Japanese Garden in October. All guided by our members who are truly walking breathing garden gurus!
We are very blessed to live in our area where there are
numerous places to visit, learn and enjoy! We look forward to exploring and learning and sharing the gardens of the Rock River Valley!
Go often to the house of a friend,
for weeds soon choke up the unused path.
Shared joy is a double joy;
shared sorrow is half a sorrow.
– Swedish Proverbs
