By 6:30 a.m. on a recent Tuesday, soft shafts of morning sunlight had already worked their way past the West Lake Forest Train Station, and across Telegraph Road. There, they lit up the baby leaves of freshly emerged perennials, a cluster of holly bushes, sumac shrubs, hibiscus plantings, red twig dogwood, and assorted grasses. And down on the banks of the pond at their feet, a pretty little grove of young larch trees showed off the bright red buds that, come fall, will mature into pine cones. Not long ago, this peaceful oasis was nothing more than a retention pond, edges choked with a tangle of underbrush. But the Deerpath Garden Club of Lake Forest (DGC) saw potential for something more. And after two years investing resources, planning, and partnership with the City of Lake Forest, the pond and encircling garden have been reborn as a Garden of Remembrance dedicated to garden club members past and future. “We couldn’t be more thrilled that this has come to fruition,” says Connie Maines and Mary Carlson, DGC philanthropic co-chairs. The group will hold a ribbon cutting to unveil the new garden to the public at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 19—followed by a garden walk with members and friends. Continued on PG 10
Connie Maines, Sherri Nichols, Sharon Twyman, Mary Carlson, Terry Wright, and Cheryl Buccelli come together for the garden dedication. PHOTOGRAPHY BY MONICA KASS ROGERS
