Beautiful fall arrangements celebrating the season!



All the plant material in this arrangement was harvested from the member’s own garden, and the garden of her son.

The Wheaton Garden Club was joined by members of the Wheaton City Council and representatives from the Wheaton Park District on October 23, 2025 to dedicate Wheaton Garden Club’s sculpture honoring our 100 years of service to the community. The bronze sculpture, designed as a wheelbarrow planter with bird and butterfly adornments, is located at the southeast corner of Memorial Park.
The dedication included Mayor Phil Seuss and others thanking and congratulating Wheaton Garden Club for their 100 years of service to the community. Everyone enjoyed coffee, tea and lovely personalized Wheaton Garden Club cookies at the Mary Lubko Center before viewing the sculpture.









A fresh arrangement every week. Be sure to stop in the library to see them!









Lovely floral arrangements were provided weekly for the enjoyment of the visitors to the Wheaton Public Library during the month of September.


Here are a few of the lovely arrangements at the Wheaton Public Library.




Our Celebration was held at Chicago Golf Club on April 10, 2025. 30 members attended as well as 3 members from Garden Clubs of Illinois.

Our founders, Mrs. Will Lyford (Mary McComas), Mrs. Robert McCormick (Amy Irwin), Mrs. Joy Morton (Margaret Gray), and Mrs. George Plamondon (Laura Hodge) were highlighted as well as the many community projects the club has been involved in over the years.

The menu included cream of butternut squash soup, grilled chicken or shrimp, mixed greens salad with artichoke hearts, grilled asparagus, dried apricots, roasted red peppers and grape tomatoes, followed by celebration cake with vanilla ice cream.






Our president, Gail, thanked the members of the Anniversary committee for all their efforts in making the afternoon a success. She welcomed our guests from Garden Clubs of Illinois, Diane Greenawalt, President, Linda Groble, Director of District II, and Walter Groble, Treasurer.

INSTALLATION OF NEW OFFICERS

Our new officers, Co-First Vice President Programs, Treasurer, Corresponding Secretary and 4th Vice President Website Adminstrator, were installed by past President, Jane Fleming.
HISTORY OF THE WHEATON GARDEN CLUB PRESENTATION


Jane Fleming gave a wonderful Power Point slide presentation on the history of the garden club, including many interesting facts about the founders and the City of Wheaton.

Caroline Jacobsen, who has been a member of the Wheaton Garden Club since 1973, added her memories of the club’s activities over the past 50 years, including many funny anecdotes.

Purple and pearls were the theme of the day, as well as fashions from the 1920’s.

We look forward to many more years continuing our tradition of stimulating interest in gardening, conservation, and civic beautification.
