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. On this 40th Anniversary of the Garden Walk for the first time there will be a gardening contest in addition to the traditional garden entries. 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.


Ask A Master Gardener Booth
1 to 4 pm
Saturday and Sunday

The University of Illinois Extension will have its Master Gardener experts on hand to answer your questions and provide handouts. Come to the tent on the lawn in front of St. Vincent de Paul Church, 1010 W Webster.


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.
