The roots of the Chicago Flower & Garden Show can be traced as far back as 1847!  The Show, held each March at Chicago's Navy Pier (March 15-23, 2014), is an experience for the senses, invoking memories of spring after a typically long and cold Chicago winter.

Our theme DO GREEN DO GOOD will treat gardening enthusiasts and newbies alike to the sights, scents and sounds of feature gardens with blooming perennials, annuals and trees while water features rustle throughout the Festival Halls of Chicago’s acclaimed Navy Pier.

Garden Gallery & Studio will be a beneficiary of the Opening Gala event.
