Learn how to welcome pollinators to your gardens by creating habitat and providing for their lifecycle in your garden.
In June, Darien Garden Club will partner with Indian Prairie Public Library to celebrate National Pollinator Month. Join us in Keshav's Garden as we celebrate the vital role of pollinators in our ecosystem.We will show you how easy it is to provide habitat for pollinators. There will be guidance about plants and bloom types that are favorable for pollinators and their larval stages. We’ll educate you about gardening practices that will provide nesting and overwintering opportunities for these struggling insects as well. You’ll learn how your small additions can add to the patchwork of habitat that runs up and down the state of IL on the <a href="https://illinoisroute66.org/route-66-monarch-flyway/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Route 66 Monarch Flyway</a>.

There will be fun activities for the kids, giveaways, and take-home information.
Join the fun as we go on a pollinator safari around the IPPL grounds. We will look for local pollinators up close. We'll help you use community science apps such as <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">iNaturalist </a>to identify and learn about your observations meanwhile adding data to support science globally.
Our friendly garden club members will be on hand to help you with your questions and to help you enjoy the afternoon.

Tickets On Sale Now! Join us for our annual summer Soiree! The Boomer Babes are high-octane, hilariously irreverent musical entertainers who celebrate and lovingly skewer the Baby Boomer experience with zany wit, powerhouse harmonies, and spot-on song parodies. Vocal dynamo duo Pam Peterson and Jan Slavin don’t just sing — they schmooze, strut, and theatricalize life’s joys and absurdities from the ‘50s to the present with gut-busting humor and warm affection for their generation. From Beatles spoof medleys and plastic-surgery pleas set to “Mr. Sandman” to cleverly crafted political spoofs and aging-with-attitude parodies, the Boomer Babes bring both a sharp comic edge and true vocal prowess to their performances. One critic raves that Still Rockin’ balances the laughs with heart, celebrating friendship and life with toe-tapping musicality and love.
Fee Includes: Entry, Refreshments &amp; Buffet Lunch to be served at 11:30AM.

In recognition of their work to better the lives of our military heroes, K9s for Veterans, Nfp has been chosen by Sterk Family Law Group, P.C. as the Non-Profit Hero of the Month. 
This charitable volunteer organization brings hope and healing to those who have defended our nation&rsquo;s freedom.
K9s for Veterans, Nfp rescues dogs from high-kill shelters and trains them to become service dogs for veterans living with PTSD and/or a TBI. 
The program is literally a lifeline for BOTH the dogs and the humans, by saving two lives at the same time. 
The rescued dogs are given a second chance at life while providing companionship, support, and stability to the people who served our country.
 K9s for Veterans covers the cost of food and basic medical care for the entire life of every single service dog they place. The dogs receive lifelong care, with no financial burden for the veteran or their family. 
Gwendolyn J. Sterk interviewed Dan Miller from K9s for Veterans for a podcast. To learn more about the work they do, watch the video or listen to the podcast.
