The Garden continues to strive to meet the lofty goals set more than a century ago. The Chicago Botanic Garden, with its worldrenowned plant collections and displays, is one of the countrys most visited public gardens and a preeminent center for learning and scientific research. The 385acre Garden features 23 display gardens and three native habitats, uniquely situated on nine islands surrounded by lakes. The Chicago Horticultural Society was founded in 1890. At its heart was the understanding that the city of Chicago was incorporated with the Latin words Urbs in Horto, meaning city in a garden. The Society hosted nationally recognized flower and horticultural shows and supported Chicagos lakeshore improvements and park system.
