Experience a breathtaking mix of midsummer & late-summer blooms and glorious grasses.

This week, the midsummer blooms are transitioning into late-summer glory with a new group of yellow-, pink-, and purple-petaled blossoms.

This is another memorable week with flower shows happening in woodland, wetland, and prairie. It’s hard to go wrong when picking a preserve to visit because they all have some exciting to offer.

It’s difficult to fully convey the overwhelming experience of being immersed in the breathtaking beauty of a real Chicago-area flower show. So get out there. It doesn’t cost a penny to visit any of our showcase preserves.

New flowers are adding to the color of our prairies, savannas, woodlands, and wetlands. Don’t miss out on this glorious moment. Life’s too short. Learn where to go this weekend to experience life’s wonders.
