Thank you for garden walk success

The Arlington Heights Garden Club board of directors would like to thank the sponsors, vendors, homeowners who shared their gardens, and residents of Arlington Heights for making our 2021 Garden Walk & Unique Boutique a success.

When we started planning this event in January 2021, our state was still under COVID restrictions.

We had no idea how things would play out, but we decided to move forward and hope for the best. It turned out to be a case of "If you build it, they will come." COVID restrictions were lifted just in time, people showed up, and even the weather cooperated.

Since 2003, the AH Garden Club has awarded $59,000 in scholarships to students and $20,000 in donations back to our community. Due to everyone's participation in this event, we will be able to continue this work now and in the future.

Thank you so much to everyone. We are all so fortunate to live in such a great community.

Kathy Hendricksen, Aileen Koeppen, Co-chairs
