Welcome to the Joliet Area Garden Club Website.
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, September 14, at 6:45 p.m.
For the September meeting we plan to have our own "Garden Delight" meeting. Everyone is being asked to bring something homemade from the garden (or the Farmers Market) which contains fresh fruit or vegetables. If that scares you, you can always buy something that contains a fresh fruit or vegetable from the store. Plan on bringing something from one of the categories:
1) Appetizer
2) Main or side dish
3) Dessert.
We will vote on only those dishes which are homemade and we will have three winners, one from each category.
Please be prepared to share your recipe with our club members if you are voted #1. This has always been a fun and delicious way to share the fruits of our labor! Looking forward to a "yummy" meeting. October 12, 2010 Carolyn Ulrich – Small Space Gardens

Successful container gardeners know that a good looking, well-maintained and long-lasting container just doesn't happen. When a few basic principles are applied, even first-time gardeners can create and maintain attention-grabbing containers.
