I was planning to go to the Chicago Flower & Garden Show to get some inspiration for my balcony garden. I had very good luck with marigolds & morning glories last year, but would like to incorporate more plants. My neighbor successfully grew tomatoes and jalapeno peppers last year. I don’t want to be jealous this year, so I am going to do both the flowers and a number of vegetables.
The Flower & Garden Show runs today through Sunday, March 15 at Navy Pier. Since it is a short cab ride away or a comfortable walk (when not raining), I have no excuse not to visit. Since now through about the first or second week in April starts the
Flower & Garden Show info is:
“From the intricately designed lush themed-gardens of the midway, to hands-on demonstrations and in-the-soil workshops, to realistic garden displays that can translate into your own yard or balcony and educate you about sustainable and achievable results, you will find Chicago's first blush with spring to be invigorating”
