Flowertales: The Story Grows On

  The tradition of the Chicago Flower & Garden Show can be traced back to 1847 when it was created as an exhibition of prized fruits and flowers. Today the Chicago Flower & Garden Show is all about inspiring, educating and motivating the next generation of gardener. Whether in a backyard, kitchen or rooftop, this is where green lovers and families go to discover ideas while having fun. So join us when we welcome spring after a long and cold Chicago winter. We look forward to wowing you with new life-sized gardens, how-to workshops and instructional seminars that will give you a reason to enjoy the greener side of Chicago.
