Pack your bags and travel with PHS to Chicago and the surrounding area on this special trip. PHS President Matt Rader and VP of Horticulture Andrew Bunting will be your guides for behind-the-scenes access, thoughtful conversations, and settings that are rarely, if ever, open to the public.

Ready to get on board? Reach out to Tina DiSciullo-Acker, Senior Manager of Donor Engagement, for additional details and registration information!

Join PHS President, Matt Rader, on an exclusive adventure through some of the best gardens in the Chicago and North Shore region.

Spend five days encountering horticultural gems under the expert leadership of PHS’ Vice President of Horticulture, Andrew Bunting. Many special “garden gates” will be opened specially for us, and we’ll meet an array of delightful plant experts, garden designers and owners, and horticulturists who will show off the best of the Chicago area. We’ll even make a trip into nearby Wisconsin for the chance to visit two superb private gardens. Along the way, we’ll stay in carefully chosen hotels in Chicago and Lake Forest, while sitting down for enjoyable meals in private homes and outstanding restaurants.

Become a PHS Member today to get access to free lectures and events year-round.
