The Chicago horticultural industry was on display this past September for the Ohio Florists’ Association (OFA) bi-annual tour of Chicago-area garden centres.

     Timed to coincide with the Chicago GiftMart, the OFA Garden Centre Tour paid visits to 13 horticultural locations, September 16 to 20, including Ball Seed Company, Aslip Home and Nursery, The Growing Place Nursery & Flower Farm, Heinz Brothers, Platt Hill Nursery and the Chicago Botanical Gardens, among others.

     After the tour, participants were welcome to stay and attend the Chicago GiftMart, held September 20.
