Welcome to the Chicago Botanic Garden. Take a brisk winter walk and listen to the chatter of winter birds. Then come inside and see a multitude of plants in bloom in the Greenhouses, this week featuring Seminole tropical rose hydrangea, Chinese paper bush, and knife edge acacia, among others.
Celebrate the winter season this weekend at the Three Friends of Winter Bonsai Silhouette Show. Enjoy free family activites and lectures on Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday, bring your family for Tu B'Shevat free drop-in activities which focus on the joy trees bring to the world.
On Monday mornings, bring your little ones to the Lenhardt Library for nature-themed stories and activities. Register today to guarantee your child's spot at this summer's Camp CBG!
For the safety of our visitors during shoreline restoration, the Garden's West Road is closed to pedestrian traffic Mondays through Fridays. Click here for more details.
