Garfield Park Conservatory Spring Flower Show
Wed, Feb 18 – Fri, Mar 13, 2026 • 10:00am - 8:00pm
300 N. Central Park Ave., Chicago, IL 60624
The Garfield Park Conservatory’s Spring Flower Show returns!
This year’s Spring Flower Show, “Rooted in Mystery” explores the critical parts of plants that we don’t usually see – the roots! In addition to finding and delivering water and nutrition to the leaves and stems, roots perform many lesser known but important functions in the lives of plants. For instance, plants “talk” to each other via chemical and electrical signals emitted by their roots to aid in survival.
Visitors will learn about the different types of roots and the cool stuff they do while enjoying a marvelous display of spring plants, including azaleas, pansies, snapdragons, astilbe, baptisia, hydrangeas, and 26 different varieties of tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths.
