Lurvey Home & Garden kicks off your gardening summer

Need to up your gardening game? For the Daily Herald's annual Get Your Summer On campaign, we kick the season off with some help for your garden while you're staying home and thinking about being more self-sufficient.

The Daily Herald is partnering with Lurvey Home & Garden in Des Plaines to host four free gardening webinars. They will be recorded so you can watch them at your leisure, but you do need to sign up in advance.
