Celebrate Latin American/Hispanic Heritage Month at the Garfield Park Conservatory with a hands-on workshop led by visual artist and educator Miguel Limon! Explore the art of cochineal natural dyeing, a vibrant practice rooted in Mesoamerican tradition. Learn about the history of cochineal insect cultivation, which has been used for centuries to create vivid red dyes and pigments. Miguel will guide participants through the process of extracting natural pigments and applying them to fabrics; we’ll also take a look at the cacti collection in the Desert House. Join us for this experience that connects cultural heritage with sustainable artistry and leave with your own beautifully dyed textile! *Please note: all materials used for this program will be provided and have been sustainably sourced.

About Miguel Miguel is an artist native to Chicago's South Side and founder of Artefactos. With perspectives on urban youth, Latindad, and environmental justice, notions of memory, trauma, and decoloniality are of valuable consideration for Miguel. Their work in conceptual photography often includes the depictions of Latinx migrant narratives, Chicanx practices, mental illness, and heritage. To do so, they employ methods of portraiture, documentation, and contemporary archive, using imagery to address the dynamism of the Latinx/Xicanx experience. In producing these images, Miguel wishes to variegate the perception of Latinx communities and use their practice as a means for collective and personal healing.

Within two weeks, we can offer a credit for a future class, or a refund in the event that we have a waitlist for the program and we can fill your spot.

Gaffer Greenhouse Botanical Garden, have I been here all my life? I have lived in the suburbs of Chicago all my life, this is my first time to go to the Greenhouse Botanical Garden. I can&#39;t express how beautiful this place is! It feels relaxing and energetic, a good place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and a must-see for gardening lovers, and bring your children if you want.

Absolutely incredible experience!From the moment you enter, you&#39;re immersed in the history and interactive exhibits. The elevator ride adds to the anticipation. Once at the top, the panoramic views are breathtaking. We splurged on the drinks package, and they certainly didn&#39;t disappoint.

Grant Park is also a good place to visit for free. The most common people you see are locals doing outdoor sports. Running is very popular and can be seen at different times of the day. There are also some people walking their dogs.
