The mission of the Chicago Botanic Garden is to cultivate the power of plants to sustain and enrich life. The Garden's educational mission grows from this statement, and is to create an environmentally literate citizenship that has the knowledge, skills, capacity, and will to effectively address the environmental challenges of today and of tomorrow. To do this, we provide a wide variety of on-site and community-based programs that introduce participants of all ages to plants and the natural world.
