Garfield Park Conservatory

The conservatory was designed in 1906 by Jens Jensen, "the dean of Prairie landscape." This 2-acre enclosed garden is the largest public horticultural collection under glass in the world.

Located next to the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago's largest park, this horticultural collection, including a 50 foot tall fiddle leaf rubber tree dating from 1891, expands into four greenhouses and is well worth the visit.

Lincolnparkconnect.com

Lincolnparkconnect.com is a project of the Children's Memorial Hospital Community-Wide Forum. The goal is to connect Lincoln Park community services-specifically, those people, groups and institutions who need resources and those that have resources-through a social service and community service website. The website provides connections to community organizations, schools, churches, museums, and neighborhood festivals. It also informs the community of events, meetings and special community announcements.
