Gardenology In Geneva Illinois...
A Garden Path to Nature
Saturday - May 19, 2012 10am - 4pm
Gardenology is all about all things gardening.
Gardenology Festival will be held rain or shine on May 19th, 2012 between 10am and 4pm. The event will take place in downtown Geneva, IL. Stop by the sponsoring shops along State and 3rd Streets and enter a raffle to win a Gardenology Watering Can.
Gardenology advisers and vendors will bring their best ideas and garden related products to jump-start your gardening season. Experts in every horticulture field including farming, landscape design, weavers, local nurseries, a dog trainer, COD’s Hort Dept. and more will be on hand to answer your questions. Topics include herbs, flowers, vegetables, heirloom plants and perennials. Learn about attracting birds & butterflies, wildlife control, composting, organic fertilizers and more. Scheduled seminars, demonstrations and children’s events are planned and will be posted on the Gardenology website. Please join us for the day long festival and our garden path to Nature. Below please find our Schedule of Events Calendar and Gardenology Day Shop, Vendor and Restaurant Specials. Gardenology Day specials are effective on the day of the event. If a service is offered at a discount it must be booked on May 19th at the event.
ALL ABOUT ALL THINGS GARDENING...
We are committed to providing quality sources of information about horticulture, wildlife, and useful and decorative products to encourage the public to garden for the cultural and aesthetic enrichment of their own lives, homes and community.
