Garden Club of Evergreen Park: "The Gardener's Cottage"

Join the Garden Club of Evergreen Park and attend meetings on the first Thursday of the month.

There will be an annual fee of $20 payable upon joining the group. Non-members may attend up to two meetings by making a small donation ($5 for most meetings).

If they would like to attend additional programs, they must become a Garden Club member and pay the balance of the annual dues.

For information, call Donna Phelan at (708) 423-7076 or email at donnaphelan@att.net.

This month's presenter is Cathy Jean Maloney, who has explored hundreds of public and private gardens as senior editor of Chicagoland Gardening magazine and a garden historian. Her books include The Gardener’s Cottage in Riverside,
Illinois, Chicago Gardens: The Early History, and The Prairie Club
of Chicago.

The Gardener’s Cottage is a rare joint effort by Frank Lloyd Wright and landscape architect Jens Jensen. The cottage matches the architectural aesthetic of the estate, and its naturalistic, stunning gardens reflect the overall emphasis on landscape and nature in Riverside.

Maloney will sign copies of The Gardener’s Cottage, available for purchase after the presentation.
