Green Gardening at the Shedd Aquarium

Looking for a fun adventure in Chicago? The Shedd Aquarium is a great way to spend the day learning, exploring, and discovering underwater mysteries with the family. The Shedd Aquarium offers various exhibits and galleries full of different underwater creatures. The Waters of the World includes rivers and reefs, Great Lakes, and the ocean. The Caribbean Reef, Amazon Rising's flooded forest, the Oceanarium's Pacific Northwest coast, and the WildReef's Indo-Pacific reef are all other option to also explore.

This is a great place to spend the day with the whole family. From the various exhibits to the Polar Play Zone and even to the various adult education activities, there is sure to be something for the entire family all under this one roof. 

Coming up in about a month the Shedd Aquarium is sponsoring a Green Gardening workshop to help

people discover the ecological impacts of your garden. The workshop will also teach you how to identify native plant species and meet some of the wildlife they attract. There is even an interactive activity which may cause you to get your hands dirty as you contribute to the secret gardens around Shedd. The program even includes a plant clipping for you to take home. This program is scheduled for April 24th, from 9am to noon. For more information visit the Shedd website:
