Looks like some rain and wet conditions so I am suggesting a visit to the Conservatory.

Please make your online reservation here https://garfieldconservatory.org/visit/  and consider a donation. Meet at main entrance at 10:15


Garfield Park, originally called Central Park, was one of three parks on the city's West Side (including Humboldt and Douglas parks). It was designed by William LeBaron Jenney and opened in 1874; it was renamed in 1881 for President James Garfield after his assassination. In 1905 Jens Jensen reconceived the Conservatory as a series of naturalistic" landscapes under glass," a revolutionary idea at the time.  

Please let me know if you are coming so I can look for you.
