Welcome fall as you plan your spring garden
Outdoors: There’s live music; a harvest market; cider, wine, and beer to purchase; and the amazing gourd mountain for selfies. Many local vendors will offer baked goods, honey, roasted nuts, fresh jams, and much more.
Kids: Amid live music, children of all ages can admire the gourd mountain, find their way around the straw-bale maze, and participate in family activities.
Indoors: Buy bulbs to plant now, and your spring is guaranteed to be alive with color. 250+ varieties of daffodils, tulips, crocus, and specialty bulbs tempt gardeners at the annual Bulb Sale. Buy mums, asters, peonies, potted amaryllis, paperwhite narcissus, and “Bulb Boost,” too. Expert staff are on hand to answer questions and offer tips. All proceeds benefit the Chicago Botanic Garden. The sale is presented by the Woman’s Board of the Chicago Horticultural Society.
Admission is free. Regular parking fees apply.
The Woman’s Board is in its second year of “Growing the Future II,” a $1 million pledge to the Garden. Proceeds from the 2019 Fall Bulb Festival ensure that the Chicago Botanic Garden can continue to protect biodiversity, connect people with plants, and move forward with thriving research and programs that support the Garden's mission: We cultivate the power of plants to sustain and enrich life.
