The City Fathers of Chicago wisely adopted the motto 'City in a Garden' in 1837. The Chicago Botanic Garden was opened to the public in 1972. The master plan was by landscape architect John O. Simonds (author of A Manual of Site Planning and Garden Cities 21). He followed the principle of responding to the Genius of the Place by working with the wetlands to make a series of interlinked lagoons, rather in the Serpentine Style. Within this framework there are over 25 themed gardens, including an English Walled Garden, a Midwestern Prairie, a Sensory Garden, a Waterfall Garden and a Japanese Garden.

Visited Aug 2010 and enjoyed my visit. Lovely large garden over 300 acres. Many interesting gardens including a prairie! Tram to get around. Only complaint couldn't get into the English walled garden (peeked through looks fab) someone was getting married in there! Needs more greenhouses, I think a winter visit would be limited. Very nice garden, well worth a visit.
