Seven enthusiastic Club members worked with the Village of Wilmette Engineering and Public Works staff to plant several areas in front of Village Hall with new perennials. As part of a district grant, our Club donated $5,200 to help defray the cost of the new plants. The team were real pros as they dug, loosened the potbound roots and set the plants into the rich soil. Plants that have a new home include Millenium Onion (Allium), Kobold Gayfeather, Max Frei Bloody Cranesbill (Geranium) Wild Berry Coneflower (Echinacea) and Dwarf Prairie Dropseed. We look forward to seeing these new plants bloom in Summer and Fall 2021. The planting crew of Club members were George Pearce, Beth DeWall, Corinne McClintic, Susan Fisher, Jim Bowman, Jim Waite, Mike Bailey and John Kessler.
