Gardens
Noon to 5:30 pm
Saturday and Sunday
Visit more than 100 beautiful neighborhood gardens on a self-guided
tour. Guidebooks, which contain the map and textual descriptions of
the gardens, are available at the Garden Center on the lawn in front
of St. Vincent de Paul Church and at the main festival area gates.
The gardens are located within the boundaries of the Sheffield neighborhood,
which extends from Halsted west to the Chicago River, and from Armitage
north to Fullerton.
Enter your garden!
Be sure to check out the hanging baskets, street planters, and vibrant
banners installed throughout Sheffield as part of the Sheffield Neighborhood
Association's Beautification Program, funded
with Garden Walk proceeds.

Specialty Tours
3:30 pm
Master Gardeners will lead small groups on walking tours of three gardens not
open for the Garden Walk. During the tour, the Master Gardener will discuss plant
material, design concepts, and special features of each garden. These tours last
about 90 minutes. There will be two tours offered each day; groups are limited
to 20-25 people per tour, so be sure to sign up in advance at the Master Gardener
Table on the lawn in front of St. Vincent de Paul Church, 1010 W Webster.
