Chicago Flower & Garden Show
Location: Navy Pier, 600 E. Illinois, Chicago
Inspirational...Educational...Motivational... these words describe not only the Chicago Flower & Garden Show's triumphant return to Navy Pier in 2009, but set the stage for the show's return in 2010.
In 2009, 50,000+ visitors were wowed by the gardens, including many created by leading designers and builders in collaboration with Chicago's best known cultural institutions. In 2010, the "theme" gardens will be back and pair designers and builders with several of Chicago's acclaimed theaters in keeping with the 2010 show theme: "Cultivating Great Performances."
Other returning highlights (and there are many) include the wildly popular FREE educational seminars (which broke attendance records in 2009!)...interactive gardening workshops... Garden Gourmet cooking demonstrations...inspirational Tablescapes...the Children's Activity Garden...and much more!
