How Does Your Garden Grow?

Naperville Community Gardeners had to postpone their annual juried flower and garden show, so here's a virtual one to enjoy!

Naperville Community Gardeners club has held an annual, juried flower and garden show for 39 years running, where ribbons and small monetary prizes are awarded. Unfortunately, this year’s show, the 40th, had to be delayed as far as a full, open on-site floor show went. But some of the gardeners—who make good use of some dirt, water, and sunshine to generate a lot of beauty—sent in pictures of what’s been happening in their gardens this growing season.

To see a fun little compilation video of the 101 photos submitted by 14 participants, both members and non-members of the NCG, follow this link.

Eventually, NCG will return to gathering for club meetings and hosting programs and having an annual show. But, the gardening never stops. The club website, although in need of some updating, can tell you more about the club and give you some more gardening information.
