Because the CBG facilities were undergoing renovation during the first half of the year, we held our Annual Show at the Chicago Botanic Garden, equivalent to our usual Spring show, in the Fall.

 
October 14-15, 2006

Before we get started, let's take a look around the grounds.  It's been awhile.  :))  Beautiful in fall colors.  See the leaves?  See the fall flowers in bloom  ... dusted with SNOW!!

How about a look-see at the great hall and the all new plant prep room?  Pretty nice, huh?  And an epiphyte tree in one of the greenhouses?

Back outdoors, a couple bonsai trees.

Hope you enjoyed the tour.  Now on to the Show!

Show Chair Sandy Fuller surveys the territory.

The set-up corps assembles ... Carole Thompson, Sue Golan and Anne Kotowski first on the scene.
