The Hyde Park Garden Fair will help fulfill your garden needs and plans. If you are dreaming of a lush, beautiful garden, you will find hundreds of flats of annuals in every color and form, over 1,000 pots of perennials, large numbers and varieties of beautiful hanging baskets and geraniums, and unique vines, trees, and shrubs.

The 49th Annual Hyde Park Garden Fair includes 10 plant departments (see links at left), as well as carrying out many special projects (see below). In early spring, members of the Garden Fair visit area nurseries to hand-pick over 50,000 plants, based on years of gardening experience and emphasizing varieties suitable for city gardens—for example, those that are shade-tolerant or fit into smaller spaces.
