Lombard Garden Club's 2010 sale of nearly 500 lilacs boasts eighteen cultivars\, including several recently-cultivated lilac trees. \;Customers will have several flowering colors from which to choose.
\;
With help from the Village of Lombard and Lombard Park District staff\, the Lombard Garden Club's annual lilac sale has become a much anticipated traditional community event. Proceeds of this sale\, the Club's primary fundraiser\, are used to support the Club's operation and civic activities.

Lombard residents showing proof of residency and a "\;free lilac"\; coupon from the Village of Lombard's newsletter\, The Pride\, can obtain a free lilac shrub on Saturday\, May 8\, beginning at 8:00 a.m. until supplies run out. \;The free lilacs are available on a first come first served basis. \; Historically the Village of Lombard provided village residents the opportunity to obtain a lilac in order to have one lilac shrub in each yard throughout the village. \; The garden club assisted the village in the giveaway\, however\, this year&rsquo\;s giveaway program marks the last year the free lilacs are available to village residents.
