For thirty years, FOPCON volunteers and the Park District of Oak Park have joined together to choose, start, grow on, pot up and set out for our community the very best in plants for our gardens. From the very first “Herb and Scented Plant Sale” in 1989 until today, this sale has provided carefully-grown plants while raising funds - hundreds of thousands of dollars - in support of our Conservatory! That’s a lot of 4” pots! A special feature this year is “Thirty for the Thirtieth”. With a few adaptations, we have thirty plants in this year’s sale that were in the catalog in 1989. You’ll find that list further in this catalog, and each of these plants is marked with this “30” golden wax seal. These tried-and- true favorites belong in every garden! Enjoy contemplating these very special plants, where would they bloom best in YOUR garden? We have lots of old favorites - parsley, peppers, tomatoes - and new ones, too. Happy planting! Our catalog is arranged according to three main categories (the Edible Garden, the Ornamental Garden, and the Shade Garden). Within those three categories, plants are listed in alphabetical order according to their botanical name. This listing corresponds to the layout of the plants on the tables at the sale. We offer our plants in a variety of sizes; from a 4-pak of seedlings to 4 inch pots up to tall quart-size containers. All pricing is noted in the catalog and those prices are indicated by the presence of a solid-colored tag in each container. While we strive to keep the accuracy of the catalog as high as possible, please note that prices, container sizes, and availability of plants are subject to change up to and including the sale days. Pricing information: Yellow $5 Blue $6 Red $10 Green $15 Lavender $20 This annual sale is presented by the Friends of the Oak Park Conservatory with the help of many dedicated volunteers.

  • FAMILY PHYSICIAN with Essential Oils “I Finally Figured out How to Use Essential Oils—TAKE OFF the CAP”
    FAMILY PHYSICIAN With Essential Oils “I finally figured out how to use essential oils—TAKE OFF THE CAP” You can use all of the oils 3 ways; Topically, Internally (drip into an empty gel cap) and with the diffuser. If the bottle has a ‘supplement’ box on the label, you can feel completely safe using it internally. When diluting* the essential oils, use one drop of Coconut Oil for one or two drops of the essential oil. It is not necessary to dilute the essential oils, but for some essential oils which are particularly cool (Peppermint, Wintergreen) or hot (Oregano, Cinnamon, Clove, Cassia), it may not be comfortable on your skin without diluting, and may be particularly uncomfortable for a child. If you use an oil without diluting and it is uncomfortable to the recipient, simply apply a small amount of coconut oil and it will quickly resolve the problem. Also, if you are using the oils on an open sore or wound, it is always a good idea to dilute with coconut oil. Diffusion is powerful because the child can breathe it in and it kills microorganisms in the air which helps stop the spread of sickness. If the oils get in the eyes, it will sting but will not do damage. Simply rub a few drops of your diluter oil on the eye and it will help to relieve the suffering. You can combine and mix any of the oils as much as you like and the oils are safe with any medication. If you are not sure how to apply the oil, know that you can ALWAYS rub it on the bottoms of the feet and you will get the full affect.

Historical Note For the first years of the University of Chicago, there was considerable ambiguity as to its colors. In 1892, a committee of trustees recommended orange and grey as the university's colors, but only the color orange was officially adopted. However, this decision was far from final. Not only did the use of orange upset Syracuse University, it clashed with University of Chicago students' tradition of using gold as the university color. Complicating this was the use of many different shades of orange and gold in different combination at student events.

  • Herbaceous: Six Important Flavors in Herbs
    Herbaceous: Six Important Flavors in Herbs 1. Anethole (the taste of anise or licorice, ouzo, pernod, sambuca): tarragon and fennel have anethole, and even basil has a mild anethole flavor. Thai basil has a strong anethole taste. The licorice herbs are the most food friendly herbs available. Use licorice herbs, and your food—especially any fish or seafood dish—will sparkle. These anise-tasting herbs are also spectacular on eggs, cheese, meat, and tomatoes. French tarragon (a different taste than Russian tarragon), is the flavor found in béarnaise sauce. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/bearnaise-sauce- 395049 2. Lemon tasting herbs: lemongrass, lemon verbena, lemon thyme, and sorrel. It’s easy to add lemon to nearly any dish. So make sure than your herb garden contains at least one of the lemon-tasting herbs. 3. Resinous, herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and sage, have a resin, or woody, quality. The flavor of resinous herbs comes through in cooking and is a wonderful match for meats. But be careful. That taste can overpower: the longer rosemary cooks, the stronger the flavor gets. Sage and thyme are very easy to grow and will come back with vigor next year. The flavor of sage is also quite musky in taste and aroma, which is why it blends so well with beans and meats. 4. Grassy: such as dill and parsley. Don’t overlook the value of parsley. It is very herbaceous, which offers a balance to other flavors on the plate. Parsley has a very mild anethole taste. For example, Italians use a garnish called gremolati, where the heat of raw garlic is blended with the sour of lemon zest and balanced with a whole bunch of grassy parsley.
