The Riverwoods garden of North Shore Garden Club member Joan Gand and her husband Gary was featured in the September 2007 issue of North Shore Magazine.  The Gand’s garden is said to be a jazzy interpretation of the Modern garden.  The article can be found at:  www.northshoremag.com  (Scroll down to “Features on the Web” and then click on “Ranch Dressing” or click here ).  Kudos to the Gands!

2007 Glorious Gardens Contest
We are proud to report that North Shore Garden Club member Gerry Bellanca and her husband Jim won "Best Overall Garden" in the Chicago Tribune's 11th annual Glorious Gardens Contest.  A panel of four judges selected one "garden of the week" each week throughout the summer.  Awards were based upon 50% aesthetic appeal of the garden and 50% creativity and presentation.  At the end of the summer, each weekly winner was considered for best overall garden.  Congratulations Gerry!
