Geneva is in Full Bloom!
Have you noticed the vibrant flowers brightening up downtown Geneva? From stunning flower beds to cheerful hanging baskets, these beautiful blooms are lovingly cared for by the Geneva Beautification Committee, a dedicated group of volunteers, families, businesses, and organizations who adopt and maintain these spaces throughout the Central Business District.
As you stroll through downtown, keep an eye out for signs in the gardens—each one highlights the name of a local group or individual who tends to that space. These passionate volunteers plant twice a year and continue caring for their beds all season long with weeding, pruning, watering, and lots of love.
Did you know the City Hall garden was designed by the renowned perennial expert Roy Diblik? Roy, co-owner of Northwind Perennial Farm and collaborator on Chicago’s famous Lurie Garden, generously donated his design services and plants for the project. Additional plants were donated by Midwest Ground Cover. This space beautifully showcases how native and natural plantings can thrive in an urban setting.
Thank you to everyone who helps keep the City of Geneva blooming beautifully!
