Dawn Lowe Obituary - Bloomington, IL | The Pantagraph - Legacy.com

Abigail Carpy, and one sister LaVerne Wolgast of North Tonawanda, NY. Dawn was an Elementary Teacher for thirty-five years mostly in Southern Illinois, including the towns of Bunker Hill, Gillespie, Vandalia, Mount Vernon, Harrisburg, and last teaching in Collinsville Unit District 10, retiring in 1986. After retirement she substitute taught at Christ the King School in Springfield. When she wasn't teaching, she and her husband partnered well for many years in the churches he pastored, with Dawn working in Christian Education and Children's ministry. They were very proud of the years they spent at Sugar Creek Methodist Church in Springfield where they were part of an outreach team whose motto was "Place for Beginning, Becoming, and Belonging." Dawn loved playing the piano, listening to musicals, walking for exercise, shopping, and traveling the world. She was known for her coordinated outfits, including jewelry, that she wore throughout her life. She possessed a welcoming nature and was always desiring to help others. Dawn found humor in many situations; she rarely missed an episode of "The Tonight Show," starring Johnny Carson, her favorite comedian. She was fiercely devoted to her husband and children and always their biggest fan. Dawn will be dearly missed by her family and friends, who take comfort in knowing that she will be reunited with her husband Don, who was the love of her life. She was a member of Wesley United Methodist Church, Illinois Education Association, and the National Education Association of Retired Teachers. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Westminster Foundation. Dawn and Don loved Westminster Village and Martin Health Center, and all the staff and friends that were a part of their lives there. We cannot thank our Westminster/Martin Health Center "Family" enough for all of their care, support, and loving attention. Online condolences may be left at www.calvertmemorial.com.

Flowering native plants add color naturally - Woodstock Independent

There is also a white native turtlehead (Chelone gasbar). Those are just a few of the native shrubs in my yard. For a great source of Illinois native shrubs, go to web.extension.illinois.edu/shrubselector. You will find a photo of the bloom and information about light requirements, soil requirements, native or non-native, and the size of the shrub when mature. It also gives you an idea of what the shrub can be used for: barrier, border, foundation, hedge, naturalizing, or as a screen. It is always a good idea to put the “right plant in the right place,” as I have learned from experience, instead of having to move it later. If you are attracted to the idea of gardening with native plants, the Wildflower Preservation and Propagation Committee can help. It is a 501(c)(3) organizations, and since 2005 it has helped more than 225 homeowners design native plant gardens through a mentoring program. Visit the website thewppc.org and look under programs for garden mentoring. There you can read more about the program and download an application that needs to be returned by Aug. 25. The University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener Help Desk in Woodstock is closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gardening questions can still be left as a voice mail at 815-338-3737 or submitted online at uiemg-mchenry@illinois.edu. Members of McHenry County Master Gardeners are volunteers trained by U of I educators to provide a network of gardening programs and activities to the public, including research-based, unbiased home-gardening advice. Nancy Shevel, a U of I Extension Master Gardener in McHenry County, writes a regular column on gardening for The Independent. ...

Garden enthusiasts gather at NIU's Rockford campus to discuss growing food and flowers - WREX-TV

ROCKFORD (WREX) — Gardening experts and enthusiasts gather at Northern Illinois University's Rockford campus to discuss the different uses for home gardens and nature areas. Experts say they hope the skills community members learn will benefit the planet. To some Rockford area community members Spring means gardening time. "It's a time when everyone is tired of winter, tired of being inside, looking forward to working in their gardens and their yards," says Margaret Larson, University of Illinois County Extension director. "This is still a good time to start planning things, think about what you want to grow this season, think about what new annual plants you want to put out in the garden," says Grant McCarty, University of Illinois County Extension local foods and small farms educator.
