The Chicago Horticultural Society at 125

This is the story of...how Chicago gets its garden On September 25, 1965, ground was broken at the Chicago Botanic Garden. The Chicago Horticultural Society commissioned the renowned landscape architecture firm of Simonds and Simonds to create a master plan for the site. Their inspiration was the hills and lakes of eighteenth-century Chinese imperial gardens near Peking (now Beijing). The Chicago Botanic Garden officially opened to the public in the spring of 1972. Today, the Garden’s grounds host 26 distinct gardens, four natural areas, a major science center and library, and some of the best modern architecture in the museum world. In April 2015, ground was broken on the Regenstein Foundation Learning Campus, a long dreamed-of home for the Garden’s expansive education programs. The Chicago Horticultural Society and the Chicago Botanic Garden are so happy to share our history with you. Visit http://www.chicagobotanic.org/exhibit... for more information on the exhibition.
