“Flowertales: Every Garden has a Story to Tell” is the theme for this year’s Chicago Flower Show set for March 14 through 18, 2018, in Festival Halls A and B on Navy Pier, 600 East Grand Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.

Participating vendors will be interpreting the unique role flowers, plants and gardens play in the stories of our lives and literature in more than 20 full-size gardens. There also will be daily seminars, do-it-yourself workshops, and a marketplace.

First held in 1847, the show began as a flower and fruit exposition presented by the Chicago Horticultural Society (CHS).

Hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday (March 14-17, 2018) and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday (March 18, 2018). Tickets are available online.
