A large variety of flowers, including native plants, in an absolutely beautiful setting.
20 mins drive to beautiful Chicago Botanic garden. Free admission only pay parking. Website: www.chicagobotanic.org A must for nature lovers, this sprawling compound of foliage comprises 23 different gardens ranging from formal British rose gardens to tranquil Japanese islands. A series of waterways connect the lushly landscaped hills and acres together. The scenic vistas here rival those of the older, European gardens. Pack a lunch and spend the afternoon wandering among the sculpted shrubbery. This peaceful escape from the city is a rare find. A restaurant and cafe are on site.
