Volo Bog and Lunch
Brandenburg Road, 1 mile south of Fox Lake, on IL RTE 12. Meet in the Bog parking lot at 9:00 AM
Enjoy the late sights and sounds of autumn with your garden club friends. After a short stop in the Visitor’s Center, where you’ll learn the history of the bog and gather particulars about all their program offerings, we’ll head out to see what the morning holds.
Layer up, wear sensible shoes, and walk the short trail that winds past a pond with migrating birds and lush native flowers and bushes. Signage along the way offers excellent information, and the path leads directly to the open water of the bog. After the walk, we’ll gather for lunch at an outdoor setting, weather permitting. A small donation is requested at the Center.

Wildbird Shack, Ltd. 854 East Northwest Highway, Mount Prospect 6:00 PM
It’s time to think about our feathered friends before the snow flies. Join us for an evening of light snacks as we listen to proprietor Alyse Burman explain how we can aid the birds while winterizing our gardens. Our group will meet in the shop after it has closed to the public. In addition to an informative casual talk, Alyse is willing to address our questions, and there will be an opportunity to see what the shop offers. You may recall that Alyse presented the fabulous “Soaring with the Birds” to us via Zoom last February.
