Harvest Festival

October 4 – 5, 2008, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Don't miss the Harvest Festival at the Chicago Botanic Garden! Visit a marketplace in the Fruit & Vegetable Garden selling a variety of items, including fresh-baked goods, roasted nuts, cut flowers, handmade soaps, and fresh vegetables. Navigate the straw bale maze, guess the weight of the pumpkin, and make leaf rubbings. Take home a fall-themed plant, and enjoy chef demonstrations at 1:30 and 2:30 p.m.

This is also the weekend of the Woman's Board Bulb Bazaar.
