2014 Epcot International Flower and Garden show


There are two reason to go to Disney World during the week mid-March.

1) the line early in the morning are short or non existent so you can do your favorite rides.

2) The second reason to go mid-March is the Epcot International Flower and Garden show. Disney does an excellent job creating characters out of flowers.

Lincoln Park Conservatory (winter) #3

The Lincoln Park Conservatory’s Show House is the perfect backdrop for family holiday photos where model trains wind their way through a miniature village set among a colorful pallet of Poinsettias. An old-fashioned steam engine and freight trains traverse through a festive floral display. Visitors escaping the cold can enjoy a beautiful Poinsettia display.

The Lincoln Park Conservatory, owned and operated by the Chicago Park District, was designed by nationally renowned architect of the Victorian era Joseph Lyman Silsbee in collaboration with architect M.E. Bell. The Conservatory was built in phases between 1890 and 1895, replacing a small greenhouse that dated from the 1870s and was designed both to showcase exotic plants and to grow the thousands of plants needed for use in the parks, which it still does today.
