Minutes from the first Garden Club meeting, 1992:

8 ladies and 4 gentlemen attended the Burlington Area Garden Club’s first meeting. The majority of the group were surprised and excited to see so many others shared their same interest. The room was buzzing with members getting to know one another and sharing garden experiences. It was decided the meetings would be held the second Tuesday of each month in the library’s meeting room at 7:00 p.m. The groups interest were general lawn care, fruit trees, flowers, vegetables, and herbs. A tour of the Chicago Botanical Gardens is being planned within the next month. Volunteers from the garden club will be doing a community landscape project in the spring. A plant swap sheet was passed around for the members to join. Sue Quickstad brought seedling coreopsis for all who attended. Roy Dublik of Northwind Perennial Farm will speak on

“Caring for Perennials in Your Garden.”

Refreshments will be served. New members welcome. For more information call Barb Lehn or Sue Quickstad
