Chicago Flower and Garden Show

CHICAGO (WLS) -- It's beginning to look and feel a lot like Spring this weekend at Chicago's Navy Pier. The annual Chicago Flower and Garden Show is in full bloom. The Chicago Flower and Garden Show is one of the oldest shows in the city, tracing its roots back to 1847.

It's a harbinger of spring in Chicago, but in more recent years, it's also a showcase for learning how to do green and do good at home and in the community, whether it's taking part in a community garden, growing your own vegetables or showing kids how to create a bee or bug sanctuary. We talked with show director Tony Abruscato about the event.
