More Flavor: City Gem Chicago Botanic Garden

  • 3-buehler-enabling-garden_large

In this madcap world of indoor pools and year-round pomegranates, it's easy to forget the elegant grandeur of the Chicago seasons. Fortunately, the Botanic Garden offers refuge from the city's globalizing hum – manicured lawns, stripped of vernal foliage, reveal the stark beauty embedded within the season of discontent (and modern convenience). Stroll along Linden Allée's evergreen corridor, island-hop in the Sansho-En, or examine the Japanese Garden's ephemeral forms. Afterwards, get toasty beside rarefied blooms in the CBG's tropical and desert greenhouses, or help yourself to a much deserved bite at the Garden Café.
