Since 1928, the members of Pottawatomie Garden Club have made St. Charles a more beautiful community. We plant flowers on the Main Street and Illinois bridges, and around the Municipal building each spring and fall; we honor past members with our Memorial Tree Program; and we present an annual Landscape Commendation Award to businesses in the Township.
The Club also awards annual scholarships to horticulture students and provides support to gardening and environmental projects in the community.

Pictured at left is a shot of the daffodils along the bike trail at Mount St. Mary's park in St. Charles, IL. About 5,000 bulbs were planted there last fall (2020) as part of the River Corridor Foundation's plan to beautify that area. Several PGC members joined in the activity. They are all coming into full bloom during the month of April! Photo taken by Lanny Salvati
