We’re not in Glencoe anymore<br />
Garden’s Brazilinspired<br />
exhibition<br />
has plantings, chef<br />
series and music<br />
Megan Bernard, Editor<br />
Leave the North Shore<br />
and step into Brazil when<br />
you visit the Chicago Botanic<br />
Garden in Glencoe<br />
this season.<br />
The garden became<br />
more bold, vibrant and<br />
biodiverse on June 15<br />
when its new exhibit “Brazil<br />
in the Garden” opened.<br />
The exhibition includes<br />
native plants from Brazil,<br />
music nights and garden<br />
chef series, among other<br />
exhibitions.<br />
The tribute to the tropics<br />
runs from now until Oct.<br />
15, thanks to two CBG<br />
staff members Andrew<br />
Bunting, assistant director<br />
of the garden and director<br />
of plant collections, and<br />
Tim Pollak, outdoor floriculturist.<br />
Bunting and Pollak were<br />
the masterminds behind<br />
the new garden, which was<br />
the result of a trip to Florida<br />
in 2015.<br />
“Andrew and I made the<br />
trip to Florida to look for<br />
new sources and plants,”<br />
Pollak said. “The Brazil<br />
idea just exploded when<br />
we were down there.<br />
When we got back, we just<br />
thought we were going to<br />
do a couple (flower) beds<br />
of Brazil, but we presented<br />
the idea and it was received<br />
very well.”<br />
The Brazil theme was<br />
inspired by Burle Marx,<br />
the Brazilian landscape<br />
architect whose bold,<br />
modernist style made him<br />
world-famous.<br />
With Marx influence,<br />
Bunting and Pollak sat<br />
down together to design<br />
The Assistant Director of the Chicago Botanic Garden<br />
and the Director of Plant Collections Andrew Bunting<br />
created the new exhibition Brazil in the Garden with<br />

The yellow berries base plant is a part of the exhibition<br />

Bromeliads fill in the foliage in the Crescent Garden.<br />
a Brazil garden on paper<br />
first. But before planting,<br />
they consulted with Consulate<br />
General of Brazil<br />
in Chicago to make sure<br />
CBG’s version of a Brazil<br />
garden was not “Americanized,”<br />
Bunting said.<br />
“Then it was the fun part<br />
of my job: to look at the<br />
plan on paper and decide<br />
