The Tri-Village Garden Club of Bartlett, Hanover Park and Streamwood meets at 7 p.m. at the Poplar Creek Public Library in Streamwood, on the third Wednesday of the month. At the April meeting, Carol Cichorski will talk Creativity in the Garden.

Cichorski's presentation debuted at the 2013 Chicago Flower and Garden Show. It focuses on the unexpected, taking risks, and the creative process. Let this seminar be your inspiration and road map to expressing your individuality. This is a 60-minute PowerPoint presentation. There will be hand-outs.

Cichorski was already garden addicted when she and her husband moved to their small house on a half-acre lot 17 years ago. She was very much a novice gardener at that time. Much has changed since then. Carol is now past-president of the Elk Grove Garden Club, quite the gardener, writes a garden blog, and has spoken three times at the Chicago Flower and Garden Show. She also was published in Chicagoland Gardening Magazine and is filled with creativity.
