THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND
Our Annual May Linen Sale:
Garden spots ready to sprout on North Shore
he North Shore is packed with gardens, gardeners, garden clubs and more. Now that March and April have tiptoed away, it’s time to celebrate what we’ll soon see emerge from the dirt. In Glencoe, the Chicago Botanic Garden on Lake Cook Road is ready to welcome the majority of its 1 million annual visitors during the North Shore’s warmest days. A few miles north in Lake Forest, Kennetha “Posy” Krehbiel’s backyard will be explored by many who love flowers. Posy is happy to show them around. As she said a few years ago of her 10 acres exploding with flowers, bushes and even a pool house, “What’s the point of having all of this if I can’t share it?” The Winnetka Garden Club — along with others on the North Shore — is poised for flower sales and more under the sun. Bill McLean digs deep for the story. Steve Pemberton is an affable Walgreen executive who lives in Highland Park. Given his childhood, it was more likely he’d end up on the streets than in a corner office. His book, “A Chance in the World,” is a harrowing look at
his upbringing in a foster home that rivals anything out of Dickens — and spotlights the ways perseverance and faith are essential to those youngsters dealt life’s horrors. See Sunday Breakfast for all the details. Joanna Brown’s biweekly “Love & Marriage” column has been a popular feature since the debut of The North Shore Weekend. She always seems to pick a topic that resonates with couples. This week she wonders: Should life’s problems be left outside once a family is inside their home? Spurred by watching the movie “42,” where Rachel Robinson suggests a home should be a haven, she asks: “When do we talk about the things that ail us if not in those precious moments before we fall asleep?” Read her insights as always in Lifestyle & Arts.
