Wander through vivid spring blooms while learning about the part of plants that is most vital but you don’t see; the roots. These underground tentacles deliver water and nutrition to the rest of the plant as well as provide a network for communication between plants.
This year’s show features a vivid display of spring plants including azaleas, 26 different varieties of tulips, daffodils, snapdragons, pansies and hyacinths. Take in the beautiful displays while discovering the different types of roots and all the fascinating things they do.
The show runs from 10 am-8 pm Wednesdays and 10 am-5 pm Thursdays through Sundays. Admission is free for Chicago residents but reservations are required.
