Please join us again this year on July 13, 2025, for the next annual Elmhurst Garden Walk & Faire, “An Afternoon in the Garden”.  The walk showcases both private and public gardens along with a boutique in Wilder Park. The majority of the proceeds of the Walk & Faire are used to fund student scholarships. In 2024 the Elmhurst Garden Club awarded $26,545 in scholarship awards to five Illinois resident college students and to one York High School student. Since 1999, the proceeds have funded a total of 127 scholarships totaling more than $255,000.

Proceeds also benefit many other community projects:

Holiday decorating of Elmhurst Public Library
Maintaining the Herb Garden in Wilder Park
Contributing to horticultural development at Elmhurst University Arboretum
Mentoring York High School Garden Club
Improving and maintaining campus grounds Elmhurst Ray Graham Learning Center
Contributing to Elmhurst Cool Cities Coalition for public environmental programs
