Wicker Park Garden Club 2016 Home Landscape Design Workshop: 1 week left to sign up!

In my opinion (through about five years of participating with the class and a decade with the garden club), this class is exceptional! Not just in the quality of the sheer useful and varied information presented, but, as well, in the exposure to a diverse group of people from throughout the Chicagoland area. It is also a steal in terms of cost.
   There are only 10 slots left, so if you can't go, please forward to everybody you think might be interested, or give one as a gift for no reason, which supports the garden club and Random Generosity, one of the best gifts of all!!!
