On December 4th, 2025, the Greener Grove community came together to connect, celebrate, and support a greener future. And, by all measurements, it was a Wow night to remember!  Like all that we do here, this event started with a vision: Could we organize a really awesome, successful fundraiser while keeping sustainability front and center with every decision? 

Greener Grove's Microgreens enjoyed a hands-on experience in the backyard "classroom" of DG resident food-foresters, Ron and Vicki Nowicki on Sunday, September 14th.

In 2023, the Village of Downers Grove joined the Greenest Region Compact (GRC), laying the groundwork for a long-range plan of developing sustainability solutions. Offering a recycling opportunity felt like the exact event that works toward the goals of the GRC. Greener Grove, together with the Village and SCARCE which is a nonprofit organization that focuses on rescuing school items from landfills, organized a Recycling Extravaganza

Birding expert and DuPage Birding Club Member, John Cebula, spoke about the fascinating world of birding, including how to identify birds, at Greener Grove’s May meeting
