My green thumb came only as a result of the mistakes I made while learning to see things from the plant’s point of view. ~ H. Fred Ale

NGS History

The Northtown Garden Society was founded in 1982 by a group of neighbors caring for gardens or greenhouses with a mission to share ideas and learn more about gardening.

As we have grown over the years, our mission has expanded to provide gardening education and community service to the residents of West Ridge and surrounding neighborhoods.

Throughout the year, we sponsor a variety of lectures or visits to Chicago-area gardens or garden-related businesses.

Our community service projects include:

  • Maintaining the Triangle Garden in Indian Boundary Park
  • Maintaining the Rose of Sharon Garden in Warren Park
  • Maintaining the Green Room in the Warren Park Field House
  • Sponsoring a Spring Evening Garden Walk in West Ridge and surrounding neighborhoods
