Oak Park River Forest Garden Walk 2016


Sunday, June 26, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  
Self-guided tour presenting ten gardens. 
Cost: $20.00 per person.

This was a great walk if you garden in a small space and want ideas to see how many different plants you can pack in. Out of the ten gardens, most were well thought out and gorgeous. A couple had limited interest. One looked like it was planted the night before the walk. Many were adorned with cutesy whimsical garden ornaments. There was also decorative lighting provided by gas lanterns and twinkling mini lights strung in the trees. Despite the small space restrictions, there was also a sampling of how small ponds and water elements can fit into the garden design. 

Here are a few photos.  Enjoy! W
