Tri-Village Garden Club, representing Bartlett, Hanover Park and Streamwood, will host guest speaker Cindy Crosby on Wednesday, November 20, at the Streamwood Fire Station #31, 1204 S. Park Ave., from 6:30-8:30pm. Crosby’s program, “Bison Tales and Tallgrass Trails,” tells the story of how Illinois’ original garden, the tallgrass prairie, has been shaped by bison.

Her tales will illustrate the connections to some Native American tribes through music, literature, art and popular culture. The meeting is free and open to the public.
