A sprawling 385-acre botanical garden in Glencoe featuring diverse plant collections, seasonal flower displays, and themed gardens like the Japanese Garden. Visit for peaceful walks, photography, the butterfly exhibit, and the bonsai trees—spring is especially vibrant with daffodils and tulips. Note that some fountains may be dry depending on the season, and flowers outside spring often have buds rather than full blooms.
