Garden Club
Ministry
For many of us, working with nature has been a source of joy, renewal, and spiritual connection. Whether through tending houseplants, planning landscapes, or growing vibrant gardens, the desire to nurture life is nearly universal.
The DuPage Garden Club was born out of this shared passion. It began when Dr. Evelyn Wiley hosted plant sales at her home to support the REACH Community Service, Inc. Food Pantry. Inspired by the success and community interest during our first official sale in May 2022, members and friends of DuPage Nation expressed a desire to learn more—and grow more.
Since then, the Garden Club has blossomed into a ministry of learning, service, and fellowship. We offer classes, hands-on projects, and opportunities to support both our church and the wider community through gardening.
Whether your interest lies in vegetables, perennials, annuals, landscape design, or caring for trees and shrubs, there’s a place for you here.
Join us as we grow together—cultivating beauty, knowledge, and community.
To God be the Glory.
