If the concrete trek and throngs of spectators at Friday's Fourth of July festivities leave you pining for something a little more spacious and herbaceous, head over to the Garfield Park Conservatory for a reliably green afternoon. (As spectacular as exploding chrysanthemums are, they don't have quite the lasting beauty of the real things.) With exotic tropical plants blooming just down the hall from desert cacti and giant lilies, it's the finest horticulture Chicago has to offer — a back-to-nature trip that will dazzle even the most dedicated urbanite.
