Pandemic Moments

2020, A Year of Adaptation
Who would have thought that our lives could change so drastically in just one short month?
​The Garden Club of Mount Prospect met in person for the last time on March 11, 2020. Plans for the rest of Spring 2020 were canceled, including the May fundraiser and June road trip. The community plant sale morphed into a member front porch plant sale while gardeners took turns and maintained social distancing while working at the Arlene Prchal Butterfly Garden and Mount Prospect Historical Society.
But gardeners believe in growth and renewal. The club has planned another year of outstanding monthly programs.
​We have met virtually since the fall and hope to enjoy, in person, our June road trip to the Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford.

The Garden Club of Mount Prospect is solely sustained by its member volunteers, who remain committed to the club mission:
“… to encourage interest in gardening and horticulture, artistic use of plant materials, civic beauty and conservation of natural resources.” 

About the Club - History

Picture
The Garden Club of Mount Prospect was organized May 8, 1963. The club's meetings, programs and projects are designed to carry out the vision of the founding members' mission statement to "encourage interest in gardening and horticulture, artistic use of plant materials, civic beauty and conservation of natural resources."  

The purpose of the club was, and still is, to keep Mount Prospect beautiful. Over its more than 50 years of service, it has accomplished its goal. In 1997, the club was named a "Shining Star" for beautification to the Village and again in 2011 for the Green Thumb Award Program. In 2018 the mayor of Mount Prospect issued a proclamation during National Garden Week that lauded the contributions of the Club to the village.
