All demos will be interactive and will take place outside in a tent located at 3344 N. Broadway.
The Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce also welcomes back Patch Landscaping with their Inspiration Garden. Patch Landscaping will be creating an outdoor oasis filled with inspiration for the everyday gardener. From bicycles and cinder blocks being used as planters to a user friendly outdoor fire pit, Patch’s outdoor garden will have great ideas to inspire the “DIY” gardener in all of us. The garden will be located on Broadway from Roscoe to Hawthorne Streets.
