Horticulture Center

 
The Andrew B. Barber and Clarence D. Oberwortmann Horticultural Center is located adjacent to the Bird Haven Greenhouse in picturesque Pilcher Park.  Here's a video about the greenhouse. 

 

Welcome to the Joliet Area Garden Club Website. 


Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, February 9, at 6:45 p.m.

Our guest speaker is Karen Caldwell who will be teaching us how to make birdhouses from gourds. All are welcome to observe, but, even better, if you want, you can make your own birdhouse for a fee of $15 per person. All supplies will be provided for this fee.  Karen needs time to prepare and dry the gourds for her presentation; so, please let Linda Deiss know by February 1st if you wish to participate.

Looking ahead to March, Corny Morgan will be speaking to us on Dahlias and in April we will hear from Phyllis Schulte on vegetable gardening.

Due to an oversight I missed posting the January newsletter, so here it is - January.  and February- double the fun.
