芝加哥植物園
地方性遺產
當您想到大型的市中心，如：紐約市、華盛頓特區或芝加哥，您也許不會想到公園；但在這些都市的摩天樓及紀念碑間，都有一座美輪美奐的植物園。
1972年，芝加哥植物園開班授課，主要在傳授可以應用在我們生活中的自然植物。實際上，這座公園是由23座不同的公園組成，遊客們可步行穿越各個公園，包括英國圍欄花園、中西部牧草園、圓形花園、教育用溫室、果菜園、玫瑰園及日式庭園。
植物園開放時即落成的孩童花園，讓芝加哥的在學孩童有機會，體驗耕植、除草及收成的種植過程。在瀕臨絕種區，遊客可以看到一些幾乎要消失的當地生植物。園內也有許許多多的野生生物，您可以在此看到蝙蝠、鹿、土撥鼠、牛蛙及輕鬆自在的海龜，現場甚至有「巨型昆蟲」展示會呢！
When you think of big urban centers like New York City, Washington, D.C., or Chicago you probably don't think of gardens. But each of these cities has a wonderful botanic garden amid their skyscrapers and monuments.
In 1972, the Chicago Botanic Garden opened to teach lessons of nature that can be applied to our own lives. The garden is actually made up of 23 different gardens that visitors may walk through, including the English Walled Garden, the Midwestern Prairie, the Circle Garden, an Educational Greenhouse, a Fruit and Vegetable Garden, a Rose Garden and a Japanese Garden.
The Children's Garden, which was formed when the Botanic Garden opened, offers Chicago schoolchildren the opportunity to try planting, weeding and harvesting. In the Endangered Species Garden visitors can see native plants that are threatened with extinction. There is plenty of wildlife in the gardens as well. There have been sightings of bats, deer, woodchucks, bullfrogs and snapping turtles. There is even a "Big Bugs" exhibit.
