โThe Chicago Botanic Garden is a 385-acre living plant museum.
โThe mission encompasses three important components: collections, education, and research. Today, the Chicago Botanic Garden is a flourishing environment of diverse gardens and expansive programming serving the needs of people.
Visitors may find it difficult to imagine that this vibrant place was an undeveloped, primarily flooded piece of land 40 years ago. Beneath the plants, animals and facilities that now thrive here is a history of people with passion, vision and dedication that has helped Chicago become a leader in horticultural sciences and botanical gardens.
