Affinia Chicago - Returns as the Official Host Hotel
At the Affinia Chicago, stay just a few steps away from the Magnificent Mile, Water Tower or Navy Pier -- and a great place to stay for the 2011 Chicago Flower & Garden Show. In addition to providing insider access to all Chicago has to offer, Affinia Chicago is a stylish escape with 215 guestrooms and suites. In this city of great restaurants, one of the Chicago Tribune's "10 Best Restaurants that Opened in 2008" is our own C-House, by celebrity Chef Marcus Samuelsson. An amazing seafood menu in an oasis of rustic sophistication. Bites of that same menu rise to the rooftop lounge of the hotel. Located at the 29th floor, C-View, ranked as the "Top Chicago Rooftop Lounge" by Metromix/RedEye. In the indoor lounge or on the outdoor terrace, sip a cocktail and enjoy the incredible views. Popular Horticulture Competitions Return! They're back! After a hiatus of a few years, individuals, as well as garden clubs and businesses, are encouraged to demonstrate their passion for horticulture in three Flower & Garden Show "Horticulture Competition" categories: Houseplants, Window Boxes and Photography. A limited number of entries will be accepted in these three categories. Blue ribbon juries of professionals will then pick top winners in each shortly before the show opens. These winners, in addition to all entrants in each category, will then be showcased at spectacular exhibits for visitors to enjoy during the Flower & Garden Show's 9-day run! Check back soon to download a Horticulture Competition application. (The application will also be available as a link from the Chicago Flower & Garden Show home page.) See What's Hot! "New" Plant Varieties Exhibit! What's new (or soon to be new) in the consumer market will be on display at a Chicago Flower & Garden Show exhibit showcasing all-new plant, flower and vegetable varieties. From new impatiens that thrive in full sun and the latest in drought-resistant plants, to new vegetable and fruit hybrids with improved taste and texture, visitors will see it all! Presented in collaboration with leading growers, this on-the-cutting-edge Flower & Garden Show exhibit promises to be a one-stop resource that spotlights the latest innovations in horticulture. |
