This weekend, April 15 - 17, the Chicago Botanic Garden is hosting its 6th Annual Antiques & Garden Fair. More than 100 exhibitors will be there from around the world and will be selling furnishing and garden antiques.

Organizers promise that whether you have a tiny garden, a large estate, or just a porch even, that there will be something for you at the show. Dealers will be schilling everything from antiques from world palaces and estates to gardening tools so there's sure to be something in your price range, right? Also, call us nerds, but we think the architectural salvage seminar and the seminar on how to decorate your "outside room" look sweet.

Starting Thursday night at 5pm there will be an online preview of the event. And if you can't make it to the show at all, never fear. The site with the preview is going to stay up for 2 weeks so you can virtually attend.

Weekend passes are $18 and you can get more information on the event at the Chicago Botanic Garden's site.
