A live kaleidoscope of seasonal color, the Circle Garden gets its name from the circular shape of its perimeter.

In October, towers of mums enhance the hot-season annual plants here, which is a spectacle in itself. The garden also includes trees, shrubs, and perennials that serve as a lovely backdrop to the shifting display of flashy annuals and maintain the garden's beauty all year long

The annual beds at the Crescent feature a variety of daring planting concepts, with hundreds of evergreen boxwoods defining their curves. The eight concentric stages are flanked by a multitude of green "steps" created by the evergreens, which grow in size as they gently slope down to the water's edge. Visitors using their Chicago Botanic Garden tickets can approach the plants closely by the brick walkways that crisscross the plant beds. As its name suggests, the Crescent includes crescent-shaped beds that are filled with changing seasonal species that look nothing less than a beautiful painting of pattern, color and wonderment.

The six unique garden rooms each generate a distinctive ambiance while incorporating components of English garden architecture across centuries. Consider visiting the Cottage Garden, which is a haven of fruits, veggies, herbs, and flowers.

The Heritage Garden pays homage to historical botanic gardens and the way they arranged and displayed flora. Carolus Linnaeus, who founded the system of plant nomenclature that is still in use today, is honored in the Heritage Garden through a statue.

The Garden has a distinctive water feature as well as a traditional physic garden in the middle that is filled with medicinal plants from all over the world.

The Elizabeth Hubert Malott Japanese Garden is a symbol of the Japanese respect for age and nature. There are three islands that you can discover with your Chicago Botanic Garden tickets in this 17-acre lakeside landscape. Only two are accessible to the general public: Keiunta (Island of the Auspicious Cloud) and Seifuto (Island of Clear, Pure Breezes). The inaccessible island Horaijima (Island of Everlasting Happiness) across the lake serves as a metaphor for paradise because it is visible but elusive.

A forest path along the lake, where native plants appreciate part shade, a sunny grassland showing the variety of native prairie plants, and a pollinator area created to attract local bees and butterflies are the three separate regions of the Native Plant Garden. The purpose of the prairie is to demonstrate how this ecosystem develops from the ground up.

The Rose Garden, one of the most visited areas of the Chicago Botanic Garden, honors the best flowers while providing context and history for the legendary ones. Showstoppers in the three-acre Krasberg Rose Garden include the spectacular Ingrid Bergman, a true-red tea rose that may reach heights of 6 feet, and the hot, fragrant John Davis shrub rose (a very hardy pink semi-double-flowered rose that can be trained as a shrub or a climber).

As its name suggests, a place that comes to life through touch, smell, sight, and sound is the Sensory Garden. Raised beds make it easier for those with restricted mobility and others to smell and touch the plants in this garden, which calls for a gentler pace. Be bold and rub the soft, fuzzy foliage of the silver sage (Salvia argentea), the bristly, rust-colored core of the purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), or any other plant that catches your eye in this garden. This is an unmissable spot that you can visit with your Chicago Botanical Garden tickets
