Inspired by Americaโ€™s gardens and timeless art of handcraft, customers will embark on a cross-country floral journey through a series of immersive greenhouse moments across the main floor, featuring violets, magnolias, poppies, carnations, roses, and more! 

As a nod to the buildings century-long heritage, the experience will also feature references to the original Marshall Fieldโ€™s logo.
