About This Cause

The Chicago Botanic Garden belongs to the people of Cook County and metropolitan Chicago. As a living museum, it seeks to express its mission fully—in collections, education, research and conservation—for all its visitors and throughout its community. To this end, the Garden must be viewed as a resource as well as a place, as a means to an end as well as an end in itself, and as a repository of knowledge to be disseminated as broadly as possible. The Garden’s collections and professional expertise are dedicated to serving the needs of its community and to improving the quality of life for its citizens. It will be an institution relevant to the lives of the increasingly diverse population of metropolitan Chicago. In expressing the human relationship to the natural world, the Garden will not forget its service to humans.
