Ideas from Chicago Botanic Garden


Last week I was in Chicago (shout out to the midwest!), and finally got to go to the Chicago Botanic Garden. It was beautiful - really vast with an amazing Japanese Garden (not as good as ours here though) and excellent greenhouse collections. I saw the largest Century Plant (cactus) I have ever seen.

The one thing that I want to implement that I saw at the garden is this vertical herb garden. Designed for a small garden area, or even a condo wall it is essentially a wooden bed turned on it's side and hung to a wall. I love it! I want to build these for clients (and my house).
