芝加哥植物园
地方性遗产
当您想到大型的市中心，如：纽约市、华盛顿特区或芝加哥，您也许不会想到公园；但在这些都市的摩天楼及纪念碑间，都有一座美轮美奂的植物园。
1972年，芝加哥植物园开班授课，主要在传授可以应用在我们生活中的自然植物。实际上，这座公园是由23座不同的公园组成，游客们可步行穿越各个公园，包括英国围栏花园、中西部牧草园、圆形花园、教育用温室、果菜园、玫瑰园及日式庭园。
植物园开放时即落成的孩童花园，让芝加哥的在学孩童有机会，体验耕植、除草及收成的种植过程。在濒临绝种区，游客可以看到一些几乎要消失的当地生植物。园内也有许许多多的野生生物，您可以在此看到蝙蝠、鹿、土拨鼠、牛蛙及轻松自在的海龟，现场甚至有「巨型昆虫」展示会呢！
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.
