BAPA’s Beverly/Morgan Park Garden Walk showcases the best in beauty and variety flourishing in neighborhood gardens.
Among the gardens that will be open are:
- Woodland Hideaway: After nearly three decades of hard work, trial and error, and learning the lessons of their landscape, the gardeners have created a true showcase tucked along the edge of the Dan Ryan Woods
- Peaceful Pond Garden: The main feature in this lovely East Beverly garden is a koi-filled pond with a waterfall that the gardeners built, adding charming extras and stunning plantings over many years.
- Urban Farm Garden: Living in an 1880s farmhouse and tending the soil on land that was part of the 80-acre farm once owned by one of the area’s founding families in the 1840s, the whisperings of history seem to have inspired the gardeners of this amazing and expansive urban farm garden.
- Earth-Friendly Garden: Showcasing sustainable practices with recycled materials, native and edible plants, and thoughtful landscaping that supports pollinators and the planet.
- Small Space, Big Impact: This small but vibrant garden combines colorful annuals, striking perennials, and thriving container veggies, proving that even new gardeners can create a stunning and inspiring space.
- Pollinator Paradise: A lively haven for bees and butterflies, this pollinator-friendly garden blends native plants, vegetables, and colorful blooms in a creative, ever-evolving space that reflects a family’s passion for gardening.
During your visits, enjoy food and beverage tastings from local businesses, demonstrations, and entertainment.
Whether you’re going to a sunny or shady yard, a mature garden or a freshly dug flower bed, you’ll be inspired by the hard work, creative vision and delight shared by the featured gardeners.
