Directions

Held on the stunning grounds of the Chicago Botanic Garden on select Saturdays from May through October, this market combines exceptional plant and garden vendors with quality food producers in a genuinely beautiful setting. It's a destination in itself — pair the market with a stroll through the gardens for a full morning outing. Vendor quality is high and the plant selection is unmatched anywhere in the region. Note that parking or the Metra Union Pacific North line is required, making it less convenient than city markets.
