Chicago Botanic Garden is an Edenesque paradise

Travels with Deb

For much of my youth, I lived minutes away from the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe, Illinois. I would go there frequently, always with my parents. They loved the place, as it was a beautiful respite for them, and served as fodder for many of my father’s wonderful photographs. After I left home, it was a pilgrimage we continued to take together whenever I returned to the area. Though my parents are gone now, I still reserve time for a trip to the garden on my treks to the Windy City.
