Rescheduled to September: Director Led Chicago Gardens & Parks Tour
Tour Chicagoland’s Best Horticultural Sites from June 11 - 14
Chicago is one of the greatest cities in the country but its reputation for traffic issues tends to deter many people from visiting. It is also home to amazing world-class private gardens and horticultural sites so it is a shame most gardeners avoid the trip just because of the traffic. This tour will take that stress out of a trip; you will “be chauffeured” by tour bus to exciting sites you might otherwise never see! Sit back and relax in our deluxe motor coach as we explore the beautiful gardens, parks, arboreta and more of Chicagoland without the hassles. Learn more and find registration information.
