Golden Garden Days: West Central
Celebration Event Set for July 22
[July 03, 2025]
Peoria, IL – Celebrate,
Connect, and Cultivate New Garden Skills at Golden Garden Days
As Illinois Extension Master Gardeners continue celebrating 50 years
of helping others learn to grow, it is not too late to attend Golden
Garden Day!
This garden season, Master Gardeners are marking five decades of
impact with regional gardening events. Connect with Master Gardeners
and join the festivities by exploring this gardening anniversary
celebration. Register for this free event as soon as possible so you
don’t miss out on native garden tours, exploring demonstration
gardens for increased food access, educational gardens, pollinator
gardens, vendors, and more!
Ainsley Olsen, Horticulture Program Coordinator with Illinois
Extension, emphasizes the program's impact: "Master Gardeners love
to contribute to the beautification and conservation of our
community. Providing education and networking with other Master
Gardeners are ongoing benefits of becoming a certified Master
Gardener."
