MISSION OF THE GARDEN

The University of Chicago Botanic Garden is an educational resource intended to grow, display, and document plant materials of both ornamental and scientific interest suited to the environment of the Chicago lakefront. The Botanic Garden will thereby provide a campus environment rich in horticultural diversity and beauty that can be appreciated readily by the University and the surrounding community.

 
KEEP THE GARDEN IN BLOOM!
The University of Chicago Botanic Garden needs your support.  Gifts to the Botanic Garden Fund are tax deductible and will be used to purchase annual and perennial plants, shrubs, and trees, and for general upkeep and maintenance.  Send your gift to:
