Our August Exhibition has the longest history, going into its 44th year in 2022. It is one of the largest regional shows in the nation. Centered on the Chicago Botanic Garden’s Permanent Collection, featuring over 50 world-class trees, it’s a showplace of trees from across the Midwest and beyond. Enthusiasts from across the country bring their trees to be judged in the main hall at the Garden’s Regenstein Center.
A gallery of the 2018 41st Annual Mid-America Exhibition is available here. We have a review of the August 2017 Exhibition available here. We also have a review of the 2015 Exhibit available with that year’s winners.
The show is free, but regular parking rates apply for entry to the Chicago Botanic Garden.
Traveling from out of town? Many of the hotels near the Chicago Botanic Garden offer discounted rates.
