Godfrey, IL
It’s not every year that a state turns 200! Terra’s sixth annual Summer Garden Show, Bicentennial Blooms transforms the Monticello Sculpture Gardens into a season-long celebration of all things Illinois. Along with state-wide events to commemorate the anniversary of when the Prairie State joined the Union, the Gardens - located at Lewis and Clark Community College - will join the festivities through a celebration of flowers and foliage across campus.
Each designated garden area also features interpretive panels that highlight fun facts and historical trivia of the state and region - an outdoor alternative to sitting in front of Wikipedia for an afternoon!
