Embark on a Vibrant Journey at The Orchid Show: India Blooms

Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the beauty of India at The Orchid Show: India Blooms at the Chicago Botanic Garden through March 23. The Show features more than 10,000 blooming orchids, filling the Garden’s indoor galleries and echoing the diverse regions, landscapes, people and cultures of India.

Now in its 11th year, the Show captivates with magnificent displays inspired by India’s national symbols and festive celebrations. Highlights include a towering banyan tree with cascading roots, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling peacock and the hues of Holi—the festival of colors—with bursts of vibrant powders.

There’ll be opportunities to enjoy a rare book exhibition, the Illinois Orchid Society Spring Show & Sale and an Indian community marketplace. Additionally, a Post-Orchid Show sale will be held.

For a unique experience, Orchids After Hours offers a captivating way to enjoy the show after dark on Fridays and select Thursday evenings. Cocktails and light bites will be available for purchase.

Location: 1000 Lake Cook Rd., Glencoe. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit ChicagoBotanic.org/orchid.
