Seeds of Change House & Garden Walk

Lake Forest Garden Club presents "Seeds of Change"

The House & Garden Walk features an exclusive tour of four historic Lake Forest properties offered by members of the Lake Forest Garden Club, a delightful luncheon at Onwentsia Club, and a specially curated Boutique featuring unique finds.

This year's theme "Seeds of Change" honors our heritage. Each member property tells its own story and was designed by celebrated 20th-century architects including David Adler, Howard Van Doren Shaw, and Ike Colburn. Each of the four featured properties will be beautifully enhanced with floral arrangements created by members of the Lake Forest Garden Club.
