2022 Kane County Master Gardener Idea Garden

Mark your calendars! Come see inspirational garden ideas in person at the popular Kane County Master Gardener Idea Garden in St. Charles. Join us for one or all of the summer open houses.

The 2022 Kane County Idea Garden will host three open house events: Saturdays, June 18 and July 16, and Tuesday, Aug. 9 – all from 9 to 11 a.m. Master Gardeners will be available for questions and discussion.

The mission of an idea garden is to showcase gardening methods or designs that are easy to replicate at home. This year’s features include:

  • A Black Swallowtail butterfly host plant garden
  • A tomato patch planted from seeds that have been in Space
  • Native plant plots for both sun and shade conditions
  • Fruit patches of goji berries, seaberries, rhubarb, and raspberries
  • Theme gardens: tea, Victorian, and English cottage

The Idea Garden is located at 3480 Lincoln Hwy (Route 38), at the intersection with Peck Road, in St Charles. Visitors enter via the Route 38 driveway. 

 If you have any questions or need reasonable accommodation to participate, contact program coordinator Sarah Fellerer at 630-584-6166 or email fellerer@illinois.edu. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time for meeting access needs.
