Welcome to the Chicago Botanic Garden. Enjoy the season's profusion of blooms including Roseum Elegans rhododendron, Carefree Beauty rose, the tall Victoria Falls bearded iris, dainty Siebold primrose, and Cool Yellow snapdragons.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Garden! Today, 2.5 million plants, 24 display gardens, and four natural areas thrive here. Visit our anniversary website to view Garden milestones since the 1972 opening. While you're there, be sure to add your own memories!

For the safety of our visitors during shoreline restoration, the Garden's West Road is closed to pedestrian traffic Mondays through Fridays. Click here for more details.
