About Me
- Beth Botts
- After more than 20 years on staff at the Chicago Tribune, where my garden stories won bronze, silver and gold awards from the Garden Writers Association, I'm on my own in the great green world. Raised on the South Side by an organic gardener and environmentalist, I now garden in a leafy suburb on the edge of Chicago--in the deep shade on the north side of a four-story building, in the sunny strip by the garbage cans, in pots on the third-floor porch and on the windowsills in the winter.

In addition to the Aquascape pond tour, the Midwest Pond & Koi Society is having a tour that covers the entire Chicago area over the next two weekends. My pond (and several others in Chicago and the near western suburbs) will be open this coming Sunday.
