If you got a few ideas from our spring landscaping feature, but still aren’t quite sure where to begin when it comes to your own outdoor space, we recommend checking out the 11^th annual Antiques and Garden Fair at the Chicago Botanic Garden this weekend for even more inspiration. Titling this year’s fair “Landscapes Transformed: Gardens of a New Era,” the exposition will include antique garden furnishing, botanical art and home and garden designs from around the globe, with more than 100 European and United States dealers on hand. Flower-arranging experts will also be present to perform complimentary demonstrations (Sat and Sun, 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.). Tents will keep you dry in spite of any pesky rain, and lunch will be available in the Rose Garden for those engrossed in the hunt.
