SUMMARY:Pullman Garden Tea and Tour
DESCRIPTION:20th Annual Garden Walk for Historic Pullman Garden Club\nThe Historic Pullman Garden Club\, with co-sponsors the Historic Pullman Foundation and Pullman State Historic Site\, invite you back to the Victorian era of the 1880s during the Garden Tea and Tour on Saturday June 28\, 2014\, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. \nVictorians passed the summer days more leisurely than we do today and so can you\, as you step back in time within this picturesque neighborhood. Tickets include a light summer-themed tea\, including finger sandwiches\, home-baked sweets and strawberries\, all accompanied by refreshing iced tea or lemonade. \nYou can enjoy one of the guided walking tours of the historic district (departing at 11:30 and 1:30)\, or use the self-guided tour map and stroll at your own pace. The tour will wind through the row house lined blocks to visit the public gardens\, select personal gardens\, plus the newest addition to the district\, a community food garden. \nThe tea and tour showcases the entrance to the Pullman Historic District\, our beloved Gateway Garden. Over a decade ago the Gateway Garden was funded through a grant from the Chicago Botanic Gardens\, making it possible\, through a collective effort of neighbors\, to clear\, plan and plant an empty lot fallen victim to urban blight. Gateway Garden is now a haven to butterflies\, honey bees and lovers of growing things\, and is a part of the NeighborSpace community garden network. \nTickets for the event are $12 in advance by emailing historicpullmangardens@gmail.com or calling (773) 568-2441 until June 26th\, and $15 on the day of the event. The day begins at the Historic Pullman Visitor Center\, 11141 South Cottage Grove Avenue\, Chicago. The Pullman Historic District can be reached by taking the 111th Street exit west off of I-94 or via the Metra Electric Train Line\, exiting on the 111th St/Pullman stop.

SUMMARY:Garden Whimsy: Using nature's materials to decorate your garden and home
DESCRIPTION:Laurie Smith from Fat Blossom Farms\nand\nArtist Kathy Dickhut \nWHEN:\nTuesday\, August 26 at 7:00pm  \nWHERE:\nThe home of Barbara and Joe Moore\n1431 W. Fargo \nWe all love to decorate our homes with cut flowers and to spice up our gardens with sculptures and fountains.  But there is another way to decorate the home and garden….using found objects and natural products from our own yards\, plus a little imagination. \nJoin us for the final member program of the year at the home of Barbara and Joe Moore.  Laurie of Fat Blossom Farms will show us how they re-purpose wood\, leaves and other natural products into garden “whimsies” that create magical fairy garden vignettes.  And artist Kathy Dickhut will tell us about how she gathers herbs\, dried flowers and other botanicals to fill custom potpourri sachets and curiosity cabinets. \nBoth presenters will have samples of their products for sale! \nWe’ll enjoy a few refreshments afterwards in the lovely back yard at the Moore home on Fargo.  As a bonus\, our host Barb Moore will tell us more about how she uses produce from her own garden creatively in her cooking — and you’ll get to sample some of the results of that creativity! \nIn case of rain\, bring an umbrella to tour the faerie garden; we will enjoy refreshments and presentations indoors. \nMeetings are free for RPGG members; $5 for guests.  All are welcome.
