First Congregational

Join us for a fun filled morning of activities at our Green Garden Fair. If you pre-ordered organic seedlings from our winter sale, pick them up at the event. We will also have a large selection of additional organic vegetable and herb seedlings available for purchase. Beautiful annual flower varieties, chosen because they support pollinators, will also be for sale.

While you are there, visit with our many exhibitors who will share with you how to live more sustainably. New this year, bring your garden tools, kitchen knives and scissors and Custom Edge Sharpening will sharpen them for you. Prairie Wind Native Plants, a local native plant nursery, will be bringing a selection of native plants for home gardeners.

You’ll find Children UP sharing with our community the work they’re doing to provide education to youth in Uganda, the Garden Works Project sharing what they do to provide fresh produce to food pantries and the Illinois Solar Education Association who will answer your questions about solar panels. Some favorites will be back again this year too. The University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners will be there as will “Caroline’s Birdie Tweets” who will be selling bird seed ornaments. City Bee Savers will be selling local, raw honey and Sustain DuPage will be giving out heirloom pole beans. That’s just a few of the many fun things that will be happening at the Fair so you won’t want to miss it. All proceeds go to benefit Church Ministries.
