I'm not sure how this relates to GC but maybe I can ease your
fears.

The Tkinter module keeps references to widgets.  You don't have
to do it too.  Tkinter also takes care of freeing these resources
if appropriate.  For example, when a window is deleted the
widgets in that window are freed (unless you keep references to
them).
