Enjoy a day at the Garden

When was the last time you toured the Chicago Botanic Garden at the peak of its beauty? This symposium is your chance. Choose from four walking tours and learn about the different gardens and their challenges. Cap off the day with a reception and free Hot Summer Nights performance by country artists Pamela Rose and Windy City Country.

A day of fresh ideas. A day of new connections. A day at the Garden.

Trees as a Legacy in Design & Development is presented by Bartlett Tree Experts and the Chicago Botanic Garden, which share a commitment to research, innovation, preservation and sustainable practices. The Garden believes the future of life on Earth depends on how people understand, value and protect plants and habitats on which they depend. Bartlett Tree Experts, with its own tree-research laboratory and arboretum, has identified and developed the most effective, environmentally sound plant health care techniques for over a century. Together, Bartlett and the Garden help educate practitioners and consumers about such techniques—and more. Photo: Timothy Hursley © PWP Landscape Architecture
