Pottawatomie Garden Club honors St. Charles-based Clarke company with award
On Monday, Oct. 16, the Pottawatomie Garden Club presented its annual Landscape Commendation Award.
The award is given each year to a local business that has devoted time, effort and expense to beautify the St. Charles community with its landscape.
This year's award winner is Clarke, an environmental products and services company that is located South Tyler Road and Sidwell Avenue in St. Charles.
Along with the many natural grasses and perennials, apple trees, blackberry bushes and vegetable patches grace the property for the benefit of the employees.
