Cantigny Gardens outside of Chicago, Illinois is a fine garden where the use of color is emphasized. While the formal gardens are quiet and peaceful, letting you sink into the surroundings - the rest of the garden screams “color!” and excitement. I think this is one of the brightest public gardens I’ve ever been in. Certainly, I”d go back in a heartbeat. Oh yeah, the pronunciation of the name is “cantini” - you don’t say the “g”.
