Chicago Garden Tour - Orchid Show "Feeling Groovy" & Tea
HBS Women’s Association Invites HCC

Join HBS Women for a vibrant afternoon at the stunning Chicago Botanic Garden, beginning with a garden tour followed by a catered tea.

Step back into the ‘60s and ‘70s at the Orchid Show: Feelin’ Groovy, where 10,000 vibrant orchids are the hottest thing since bell bottoms. Floor-to-ceiling sunbeams made of cascading blooms light up the room in living color. Lose yourself in a 10-foot lava lamp aglow with colorful orchids, then hit the road as a flower-filled Volkswagen Beetle carries you through a Route 66 daydream. The experience is pure good vibes.

Bonus: The Illinois Orchid Society will be present at the garden that weekend with a special display and sale; the perfect opportunity to bring home something beautiful.

Special thanks: to the Chicago Botanic Garden for generously providing complimentary tickets for our group.

We encourage guests to consider becoming members of the Garden — enjoy exclusive privileges while supporting its mission: to cultivate the power of plants to sustain and enrich life.

We look forward to seeing you there for an afternoon of connection, color, and community. Special thank you to Carol Barnett, MBA for hosting this afternoon event.
