With summer underway, Chalet is the go-to place for Chicagoans to get supplies for their garden. It is no surprise to us that it was recently featured in the North Shore Magazine as one of the best local businesses (July 2008, pg 53).
The Sunday, July 6 edition of the Chicago Tribune featured Chalet twice in their Home and Gardens section. The first mention was an article titled “The dirt of cleaning up dirty gardeners,” by Barbara Mahany, featuring Mud Gloves available at Chalet (Section 15, page 4). The second mention was in “Fleur du jour,” featuring Steve Kooyenga describing why he loves the Echinacea Purpurea ‘Fatal Attraction’ cone-flower (Section 15, page 8).
Of course, there’s more to do than just shop at Chalet’s Garden Center. The July/August issue of Chicagoland Gardening features several listings of Chalet in their “Calendar of Events” (page 78). These events include: “Cooking with Herbs,” featuring Dave Esau, Dave’s Specialty Foods, on July 10-11; “New, Better Shrubs for the Home Garden,” with Dave Wanninger, July 17-18; “Watering Instructions,” Tony Fulmer, July 24-25; “Harvest Lecture,” July 31- August 1. Also, Pioneer Press promotes lectures with Dave Wanninger, Tony Fulmer and Jennifer Brennan in their July 3 issue in “Items: Home & Design briefs.”
The title of this blog comes from an article by Ideal Bite. Posted on their website, July 7, this “short but sweet” article features mid-summer planting tips from Chalet’s Jennifer Brennan.
