Lombard Garden Club to hold annual lilac sale

The Lombard Garden Club will hold its annual lilac sale fundraiser. Since 1969, thousands of lilacs have been sold at the sale, adding to the village of Lombard’s reputation as the Lilac Village.

The proceeds go to supporting the Lombard Garden Club’s scholarship program, community beautification projects and educational outreach about the environment and gardening in our region.

Starting on April 12, 2021, the club’s online sale catalog will feature 19 different lilacs. The colors range from deep violet, magenta and lilac to pink, blue and white.

The sale will run through May 6 or while supplies last. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there will be no in-person sales this year.

Scheduled curbside pickup of purchased lilacs will take place at Lilacia Park on Parkside in Lombard on May 6 through 8.
