Garden of the Month
University of Illinois Arboretum 
This is much more than an arboretum, located on the south side of campus
and open anytime. It contains the Welcome Garden along the path leading
to the Hartley Garden (All America Selections Trial garden) and the Idea
Garden maintained by Master Gardeners. More details can be found
