Description

In the style of high fashion and wearable art, the Chicago Flower & Garden Show celebrates “Hort Couture,” reflecting the influence of fashion and design in floral, plant and landscape creations. More than a pretty show, the only consumer event of its kind in the Midwest offers innovative and diverse ideas inspiring us to learn new techniques and try them at home – whether the visitor is a green thumb or would just like to have one.

A "catwalk" of beauty: 25-plus, well-appointed stylized gardens are a visual shopping trip as they draw inspiration from textures and colors found in plants and fabrics, as well as alluring and beautiful embellishments found in nature. See the latest garden tools, and learn how to create a rooftop garden at home, or incorporate hydroponics: plants grown outside of soil, in water. Also, enjoy cooking demos, youth activities, potting parties, illustrated talks, and more. After, take a cruise about Lake Michigan and enjoy lunch, music, and fun!
