2007 Glorious Gardens Contest
We are proud to report that North Shore Garden Club member Gerry Bellanca and her husband Jim won “Best Overall Garden” in the Chicago Tribune’s 11th annual Glorious Gardens Contest. A panel of four judges selected one “garden of the week” each week throughout the summer. Awards were based upon 50% aesthetic appeal of the garden and 50% creativity and presentation. At the end of the summer, each weekly winner was considered for best overall garden. Congratulations Gerry!
10 years of service to NSGC
