  • Since we are required to order full cases of each item, we have reduced the plants that we are offering to exclude items for which there were very few purchases last year.
  • Occasionally, our grower substitutes items for those that were ordered.  If your order is affected by this, we will give you the option of accepting the substitution or removing the unavailable item from your order.
  • If a plant is a “Proven Winners” selection, we have noted that in the description of the plant. The Proven Winners website is especially helpful for more information about their plants. This information includes reviews, awards, and recipes for combinations with other plants.
  • We recommend the Ball Seed website for additional information about plants that are not “Proven Winners”.

Honoring our 100 years of Service to the Community

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.
