Chicago Specialty Gardens started in 1995 with the goal of bringing together a team of designers, artists, builders and horticulturalists to create the best gardens in Chicago. We believe we reached that goal long ago. The CSG team is deep, talented, seasoned and capable of undertaking even the most complex and challenging projects.
