Chicago Flower & Garden Show to Bloom Again at Navy Pier ® |
Mayor Richard M. Daley was pleased to join officials with the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority (MPEA), the Mayor's Office of Special Events (MOSE) and Special Events Management, owner of the Chicago Flower and Garden Show, in announcing a truly "green initiative".
In 2009, the Chicago Flower & Garden Show will blossom along Chicago's lakefront. After a two-year absence from the city, the show is expected to cultivate new excitement in urban and suburban gardening when it returns to Navy Pier's Festival Hall A and B, near the east end of the Pier, from Sat., March 7, through Sun., March 15, 2009. "I am very pleased the Flower and Garden Show is returning to Chicago. It will bring tens of thousands of people to Navy Pier and is another reminder of the importance of trade shows, conventions and meetings to the Chicago-area economy," said Mayor Richard M. Daley. "It is a perfect complement to our long-standing goal of making Chicago the most environmentally-friendly city in the world," added Mayor Daley. "Shows like the Flower and Garden Show keep our city's economy growing and give us the resources we need to make sure Chicago is the kind of place that people want to visit and where people want to live, work and raise a family."
