Chicago Flower and Garden Show

March 16, 2009 by Leslie (LadyMin)

I stopped by the Chicago Flower and Garden Show this week. There were lots of nice landscaping displays, how to setup a rainbarrel, bulbs and herbs for sale, assorted vendors and of course lots of flower beds and an abundance of tulips and daffodils.

My favoirte display was Del Agua Viene La Vida by the National Museum of Mexican Art. It had winding paths, trees, plants and several lovely little ponds, one that I almost stepped in.

I wanted to go home and start digging up the yard, but it’s still too cold and muddy to turn the dirt. I’ll have to wait a few more weeks.

A few of my photos are pictured below.
