EARLY SPRING AT THE CHICAGO BOTANICAL GARDEN




Sprrooiinng!




This is one of over 2.5 million plants found at the Chicago Botanical Garden. Imagine the army of gardeners needed. This visit was in April last year.



Not everything was in bloom, it only seemed that way. The park entrance fee is free if you arrive on foot, via rail or bike. Cars are charged $20.
The Garden is just 20 miles north of downtown Chicago.



There are 385 acres of park and 27 dedicated display gardens. We couldn't see it all in the half day we gave ourselves.




Tulips, exotic and otherwise took center stage. One million people visit this park every year. 
The park is usually in the top 10 of any list of public gardens in the US.



A place for everything and everything in its place. The Garden offers classes and certification. 
The even offer a full track of classes to be able to gain a Ph. D. in several classifications.
