Your Weekend In Rockford Is Coming Up Roses.
And Marigolds. And Daffodils. And...
Rockford has always been known as "The Forest City," but now, because of Rockford, Illinois’ spectacular gardens, we are gaining a reputation as a "City of Gardens." In 2005, Rockford placed first in the America In Bloom competition for cities of 100,100 to 300,000 residents. Given four “blooms” in the rating, Rockford was lauded for its community and business involvement, environmental efforts, urban forestry, turf and ground cover areas, floral displays, heritage, natural areas and future plans. The competition included such diverse communities as St. Paul, Minnesota; Spokane, Washington; Kalamazoo County. Michigan; and Riverside, California
Our kaleidoscope of gardens and farm spots are perfect relaxation and renewal destinations for weary urban warriors or those looking for the perfect garden wedding spot. From the formal western beauty of Sinnissippi Gardens to the undeniable eastern charm of Anderson Japanese Gardens to the ravishing Klehm Arboretum, Rockford gardens are sure to put a spring in your step and a smile on your face. And while you’re in town, be sure to check out the Rockford farmer’s markets, Sinnissippi greenhouse, and the always delightful Rockford apple orchards, garden shops and pumpkin patches. Come smell the roses in the Rockford area!
