Come to the Chicago Botanic Garden and lose yourself in an oasis of beautiful springtime flowers.

More than a thousand flowering crabapples provide the backdrop for gardens and hillsides covered with tulips, grape hyacinths and fritillaries. Lilacs, redbuds, Koreanspice viburnums and P.J.M. rhododendrons are filling the garden with color and fragrance. Perennials including bleeding hearts, Virginia bluebells and Siberian bugloss are in full bloom. 

McDonald Woods is carpeted with delicate native wildflowers, including trilliums, spring cress, toothwort, buttercups and the showy yellow marsh marigolds. Fantastic color combinations of annuals and bulbs in raised beds can be enjoyed in the Sensory Garden, Enabling Garden and many other areas. Catch spring fever at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
