Discover the inspirations and methods behind the patterned plant and garden displays featured in the Chicago Botanic Garden’s annual summer theme. Explore unique patterns such as polka dots, chevrons, paisley, herringbone and diamonds in garden layouts and plant arrangements. Learn how our connection to natural patterns has influenced horticultural displays, fashion and art. Gain practical planting ideas, botanical terms and design techniques to create impactful displays. The session includes guided walks through select gardens to explore the vision and process behind “dressing” the planting beds.

Presented by Jason Toth, Carlos Barajas, Bridget Kiernan and Heather Sherwood, horticulturists.
