The gardens are lush and beautiful, unique and even quirky---and the gardeners are interesting, well spoken and passionate about what they do.
We found their enthusiasm infectious---resulting in a video that, at 40 minutes, is at least twice as long as we had anticipated.

Interested in becoming a member or at least learning more about the group? Details are in the video.
Or simply attend a Midway Garden Society meeting, held on the final Wednesday of the month at the Clearing Branch Library, 6423 West 63rd Place. Meetings typically feature an interesting guest speaker, and group members participate in plant exchanges and other activities. The Society also publishes a monthly newsletter.
Congratulations and thanks to the Midway Garden Society for making the Southwest Side a more beautiful and interesting place.

Can I join if I live in Bridgeview, near 87th & Harlem? I'm a avid butterfy gardener & I garden in a small space. This year I'll be applying for national & international certification as a Monarch way station. I may be out of the neighborhood area so that may disqualify me. There aren't any garden clubs in my area.Is there someone I can send my email to to get more info?
