Each year, Art and Linda choose to assist
a not-profit organization with landscape design
and installation of a unique native-plant garden.
2003- New
Wildflower Garden Blooms at Seguin Retarded
Citizens Association: In June, Art and
Linda’s Wildflowers
planted a wildflower garden in front of the
residence of the Seguin Retarded Citizens
Association on Ogden Road in Berwyn. The
front of the building gets a lot of sun and
Art and Linda’s hopes to provide a
garden that residents and staff can tend
and enjoy.
Obviously, Art and Linda's
was successful, as we received this lovely
e-mail thank you note designed by Lisa Kiziak,
an artist from the center with developmental
disabilities:

We were
also recently informed that "The garden
is doing great. Anita Brozas, an individual
with developmental disabilities, not only
waters the flowers everyday but also talks
to them. Therefore, they will grow or Anita
will know why."
We love our jobs!

2001 - Pav
YMCA, Berwyn, IL - :
Art and Linda donated native Illinois
flowers and grasses which they planted
in a wildlife habitat in front of
the Pav YMCA. Leslie Cummings, a
volunteer trainer with the National
Wildlife Federation's Wildlife Habitat
Program, is now working with "Y" staff to
see the wildlife habitat through
completion. The completed habitat
will be certified by the NWF and
will be named the "John Fillmore
Camp Memorial Wildlife Habitat."

2000 - John
Middleton School in Skokie,
IL: Art looked upon the large,
sandy, front yard as a great opportunity
to plant a sand prairie, with the
plants and grasses one might find
at Illinois Beach State Park near
Zion. While Art provided the plants
and advice gratis, volunteers from
the village and PTA planted the
area.

plants and seeds for their "Prairies
of North America," located
at the north entrance of the Zoo
on 31st Street.
