On Friday night, the flower-filled Garfield Park Conservatory was the setting for a botanical-themed fashion show dubbed Fleurotica, the first of its kind held in the space. As part of the conservatory's yearlong 100th anniversary celebration, the event served as an opportunity to promote the property to a new audience. "We sought to increase membership, raise awareness about the conservatory, and create a cutting-edge show," conservatory publicist Micaeh Johnson said.

The Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance partnered with local florists Fleur, Dilly Lily, Stems, Robert Daniels, and Hello Darling and students from School of the Art Institute's millinery department to produce the Fleurotica fashions, which included clothing, hats, and accessories made from flowers, plants, and leaves.
