Earth Day

PLANTS. PEOPLE. PLANET.

The Chicago Botanic Garden celebrates Earth Day every day—conservation is our mission: We cultivate the power of plants to sustain and enrich life.

When Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970, the Garden's nine islands and six miles of lake shoreline were under construction. Since the beginning, the Garden has been a place where learning never stops. Let our Earth Day selections inspire you.
