The Community Relations Commission hosts the Adopt-a-Planter Program twice a year. Residents can sign up to decorate and care for the large Village planters located at the train station, Civic Center, and along Dempster Street and Waukegan Road. The program runs during the summer and winter seasons.
Registration is open for the Community Relations Commission’s 2025 Winter Adopt-A-Planter Program. Adopt one of the planters located along Dempster Street, Waukegan Road, or the Civic Center. Planters will not be available at the Metra Station this season due to construction.
Registration ends Thursday, November 20. All planters will be planted with evergreen trees around November 24. Evergreen planter kits will not be available this year. All trees must be decorated by Monday, December 8, 2025.
Adopt a planter using the Village's Adopt-A-Planter Map Tool. If you have questions or difficulties or would like to un-adopt a planter, call 847-663-3061 or email [email protected].
