The Chicago Flower and Garden Show 2011: Sneak Preview

Chicago's Navy Pier, host of the 2011 Chicago Flower and Garden Show

This year's theme : The Sport of Gardening

How that theme came about I do not know but I can guess that a man had something to do with it.

My Favorite of all the gardens :   Silent Poetry : The Confluence of Stone and Plants

by Rich's Foxwillow Pines Nursery

Window Boxes

The Always Creative and Outstanding Tablescapes

Two very contemporary gardens

 There were even Chickens in a Coop, first time this year.

And of course, flowers of every color, everywhere, all in bloom.

These are but a few highlights of the many beautiful displays.  The grand opening is tomorrow and there are a lot of interesting seminars, garden chefs, cake decorating competitions, potting parties,kid's activity garden,workshops and photography exhibitions.

A welcome respite from winter that Chicagoans are sure to enjoy.
