It’s May, and that means it’s also Garden for Wildlife Month! This is a special time of the year to rally gardeners, wildlife lovers, and anyone interested in going the extra mile for local birds, butterflies, and other wildlife.

But why May? This month has been designated Garden for Wildlife Month because it’s such a crucial time of year for so many species.

The Trebes Park Advisory Council (TPAC) has joined with two local restaurants to raise funds for the park. Now through May 31, visit Range, 1119 W. Webster, and order the “Trebes Park Sandwich” — $2 per sandwich will be donated to TPAC. On Wednesday, June 4, Potbelly’s, 1422 W. Webster, will donate 25% of all sales to TPAC.

Home Depot Lincoln Park’s “associate A team” came to Trebes Park earlier this year to distribute over 200 bags of mulch to enhance the park’s award-winning gardens. Store Manager Joe Dandan arranged for the contribution.

Tom Lawson is Sponsor Manager for the Sheffield Garden Walk & Music Festival.

Trebes Park has a 10-week Wednesday evening adult basketball program starting on Wednesday, September 18.  Games will be played from 6:30 pm to 9 pm; cost for Chicago residents will be $65 for 10 weeks.
