Spring is set to begin in only a few weeks, so what better way to get a head start on your garden planning than by checking out the 2011 Chicago Flower and Garden Show at Navy Pier.
The show begins Saturday and will run until March 13. Highlights of the event include the ever popular Children's Activity Garden, which is (trust us, we've been there) tons of fun for all ages with a sandbox, swings, plant potting activities and crafts, cooking demos with top local chefs, a marketplace to browse the latest gardening and outdoor living innovations and horticultural displays and competitions.
Admission is $5 for children age 4 to 12. Adults are $15 weekdays, $13 from 4 to 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday and $17 on Saturdays and Sundays. Discount parking in the Navy Pier garage is $14.
Tickets for the 2011 Chicago Flower & Garden Show will be available at the door or may be purchased online. Show hours are Monday to Saturday: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
