The Garden Photographic Society is a friendly “general photography” club for anyone interested in a wide range of photography. Beginners and advanced professional photographers are equally welcome! Whatever your skill level, you will benefit from our programs and activities. You don’t need to own an expensive camera, mobile phone photographers are also welcome! The club typically meets twice per month on the first and third Thursday evenings, sometimes at the Chicago Botanic Garden, 1000 Lake Cook Road, Gle
Working together we build friendships, enjoy members’ images, share ideas, and participate in club outings and activities that help members advance their skills and learn new photographic techniques. Society members have held their meetings at the Botanic Garden for more than 30 years, appreciating it as a special place to perfect their craft. We are proud members of the Chicago Area Camera Clubs Association (CACCA).
