Visit beautiful Glen Ellyn and the six magnificent gardens on display for one day only.

The Hale garden stretches around a large corner lot and features beautiful rose gardens and a boxwood hedge with shade loving perennials and annuals. A natural stone path tempts you into the backyard where a multi-level pond with lotus, lilies and koi take center stage.

The Lambke garden invites you to step into a backyard garden that surrounds you with a natural stone koi pond and the soothing sound of a waterfall and stream. A pear tree is incorporated in the stream with Arborvitae as the backdrop. An intricate brick patio and winding pathways lead you to beds of colorful perennials and hydrangeas.

The Smith garden is a lighthearted garden that has been lovingly tended for nearly 30 years beckons you to come out and play. Waves of annuals, peonies and iris provide subtle springtime color. Charming family heirlooms and a flower “bed” create garden whimsy.

The Rowe garden features a patio and garden with two focal points: a gazebo and water feature creating a tranquil mood for entertaining. A great example of shade gardening that shows hostas, groundcovers, ferns and shrubs intertwined with a variety of mature trees.

The Reynolds garden opens up to a cottage-style perennial garden sprinkled with colorful annuals. Weeds don't have a chance as the "jam and stuff" method of tucking plants close together creates a visual flow of form, color and texture. Take note of the vintage sundial under the Prairie Fire crab apple.

The Worniak garden features award-winning custom woodwork that creates a welcoming entry pulling one into an elegant garden of ornamental grasses, roses and continually blooming perennials mixed with mature trees and shrubs. A custom BBQ and outdoor dining area create the perfect entertaining setting.
