This year the Garden Club of Villa Park has moved its plant sale online. So far this is saving us some work. And it is providing needed social distancing for pick up and delivery of plants.
If you live in the area of Villa Park, IL and would like to get in on the sale, here is the link. We will deliver to anyone living in Villa Park, Lombard, Elmhurst and Bensenville, but those living in other communities can pick up their orders on Saturday May 2, 2020 in Downtown Villa Park between 11 AM and 3 PM
As always, we are featuring herbs, native plants, vegetables and garden perennials. We added a few more vegetables this year as many people want to try the Victory Garden idea this year.
In years past we have shared recipes with our visitors, but this year I will have to do that virtually.
So please visit the garden club website: www.homegardening.org and and find the page of recipes which should be linked on the home page.
Here is a Sample of the plants we have this year and a recipe to try:
Lemon Herb and Parsley Salad Dressing
1/4 cup vinegar
3/4 cup vegetable or olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp lemon thyme (or lemon basil or lemon grass)
