    This is a very small facility but the spring flower display was lovely and well cared for. A nice spot to pop into when in Elmhurst especially on a cloudy day. Parking is usually challenging but this was spring break week so we didn't have any issues finding a spot nearby.

    I love this charming (always changing} little conservatory and the beautiful outside gardens. I bring my triplet grandchildren here multiple times a year to take pictures among the colorful plants. The kaleidoscope planter and fish pond are added touches to the uniqueness' of this awesome little place.

    Beautiful! The indoor space is on the smaller side, but the gorgeous outdoor gardens are bountiful, lush, and interesting! A staff member kindly stopped and graciously fielded a few questions, teaching us about the different plants. The staff were preparing for a wedding reception photos. This would be a beautiful spot for photos, for sure. Free. Plenty of parking.

    Still love this cute little conservatory. You probably won't spend more than 10 minutes in here, but it's at the edge of a beautiful park area which includes a museum, plus downtown Elmhurst isn't far away.

    The conservatory is much smaller than I expected, but it was still a lovely place - had a fiddle fig leaf tree that made my day. Also pretty cacti! I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this conservatory, but if you're near by and also want to take your kids to an awesome play ground (part of Wilder Park), it's worth it!

    Beautiful park in Lombard with incredible views of lilacs and tulips. This is very well maintained…read moreand has a large variety of different colored flowers. Parking was a little challenging during my late April visit with all the beautiful flowers in bloom, but it was well worth parking a few blocks away and walking over for the experience. Scattered throughout the park are plenty of benches, a scenic lookout area, iron deer statue, and more. A stroll around the park is super relaxing here since you're surrounded by plenty of colors and pleasant aromas. Definitely a must visit for any tulip or lilac lover. Worth a special trip due to the quality of the park and the beautiful views.

    Visited Lilacia Park for the first time this past May, and it's a beautiful oasis of flowers, trees…read moreand pathways next to the Lombard Metra station. Parking was a breeze! And we had great sunny warm weather in mid-May 2026. But because of the record April showers peak bloom time was 1-2 weeks earlier this year. Watch their Instagram for updates! This park was designed by Jens Jensen (Central Park, Humboldt Park), and it shows from its winding pathways to separate elevated area that proved a perfect picture perch for local prom kids. Ample signage of lilacs, flowers and trees helps with ID. You gotta visit once in your lifetime during peak lilac bloom, and its worthy of strolls all year round.

    I have been gardening since my Grandfather started teaching me…read moreas far young as 5 or 6. I am currently 63 and have had gardens in many states in the US for many years. One day I searched... "vegetables dupagecounty" The first hit was Hacker's Glenbard Gardens. My Wife and I hit the Jackpot!!!!!!!! We had been getting our plants from places like Menards and Home Depot.....Not anymore! LOL My Wife and I are now going to get our vegetables and flowers from Hacker's for as long as we can. I bet Hacker's has more varieties than anywhere in the midwest. 72 Different varieties of Just Tomatoes alone !! Absolutely Incredible variety of flowers, vegetables, and practically everything you can think of plus specials! We also buy plants for our neighbors gardens. Way better prices than the big stores. And way more selection for sure. The staff is so courteous, friendly, helpful, and greatly knowledgeable. I have been there 6 times so far in 2026 :-) A real pleasurable place to visit Indeed! Thank You Hacker's! Chas & Dory

    I am starting a garden and was recommended to come here. There was a great variety to choose from…read more The staff was friendly and helpful. They were caring for the plants which was great to see. I feel like I got a lot for what I paid which is great! I didn't buy any flowers but I will be back to get some! There were so many beautiful ones to choose from.
