Just to tell you a little bit about us; the Garden Club of Harrington Park holds General Meetings the first Thursday of every month (except when otherwise noted) September through June in the Harrington Park Library (second floor). The meetings begin at 7:30 P.M. and include a lecture by a guest speaker on various gardening topics. Each meeting we have a floral contest, whereby members interpret a given theme. We have a Field Trip at the end of our Club year, along with a luncheon. Our meetings are open to everyone who loves a garden and gardening.

"Exceptional Fall Trees and Shrubbery" - Marc Zukovich
We are delighted to announce that Marc E. Zukovich will start off our new year. Marc has become one of the GCHP's favorite guest speakers, having wowed us in the past with programs including "Gardening with Deer" and "How to Design the Mixed Border". This time Marc will speak on "Exceptional Fall Trees and Shrubbery", presenting an informative and entertaining lecture on the best trees and shrubs for fall and winter interest. Learn how to choose the best plants for your site, how to incorporate them into your landscape, and perhaps most importantly, how to take care of them for years of enjoyment.
The program will be followed by a "Q&A" session and refreshments.
