Chicago weather just needs some consistency, but if you want some consistent warmth along with beauty make sure to head to the Lincoln Park Conservatory Spring Flower Show.
The Spring Flower Show will get you in the right state of mind for the season. Titled “Spring Rising,” this year’s show features the work of Chicago-based artist Michael F. Thompson. Thompson’s kite sculptures hang above beds of azaleas, daffodils, tulips, and more adding to the beauty of the conservatory. The star of the show continues to be the azaleas, which are the direct descendants of the azaleas featured in the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition. Even if your not the biggest garden fan it’s always worth a trip to the conservatory for the constant 75-degree temperature inside. It doesn’t get any more spring than that.
“Haustellum” by Michael F. Thompson.
The Lincoln Park Conservatory Spring Flower Show runs until May 14 at 2391 N. Stockton Dr. It is open from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. For more information visit chicagoparkdistrict.com/lincoln-park-conservatory-spring-flower-show-to-feature-spring-blooms–kites-by-chicago-based-artist.
