Since it's organization on January 28, 1958, the Lincolnshire Garden Club has endeavored to further the education of members and the public in the fields of gardening, horticulture, botany, landscape design, floral design, conservation of natural resources, and environmental ethics.

Some of the many projects the garden club has taken part in include:

• Community beautification throughout the Village of Lincolnshire through streetscape designs and design and maintenance of the Blue Star Memorial Garden and the Perennial Sign Garden at Spring Lake Park

• Garden Therapy at the Riverside Foundation

• Nature Restoration with the Lake County Forest Preserve at the Everette Woods Forest and future restoration work at Florsheim Park

• Village of Lincolnshire Holiday Tree and holiday wreaths throughout the Village in December.

• Flower and garden shows.

• Youth education through the Ecology Club at Daniel Wright Junior High School.

Services provided by the Lincolnshire Garden Club include monthly luncheon meetings with educational programs, workshops, Annual Member's Plant Exchange, Annual Member's Garden Walk, Spring Luncheon, Fall Benefit Auction and a multitude of books and videos relating to gardening and flower arranging available at the Vernon Area Library.

On April 15, 2010 the Lincolnshire Garden Club presented a $1,250 check to the Village of Lincolnshire for Holiday plantings. Mayor Blomberg accepted the check and expressed his appreciation for all that the Garden Club does for the community.
