But this weekend, attendees of the Bucktown Tree and Garden Walk can erase at least a part of their memories of winter at the annual festival celebrating the neighborhoods 100 most thriving gardens.
Held this July 12-13 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., attendees can take a free trolley making stops at various garden spaces and local taverns. The tour begins at neighborhood favorite, Club Lucky, where horticulture admirers can enjoy lives music along with food, drink and wine-tasting specials.
Maps and guidebooks are available for $10 donation for those deciding to be their own tour guides. All proceeds benefit the community and in the past have helped fund greens spaces and gardens at Drummond Montessori School and the Bucktown-Wicker Park Library.
