If you want to hide from the world amongst nature without actually being, you know, in the elements, A.J. Rahn Greenhouses in Spring Grove Village is the way to go. In the ’60s, the Rahn family became known for their high-quality flowering plants   —and still carry on that legacy today with rows and rows of flowers and hanging plants no matter the season. It’s easy to spend a leisurely weekend morning or afternoon wandering among all the flora and mentally calculating if you possibly have more space for yet another hanging basket (or seven). Don’t forget to say hello to Cali the greenhouse cat, who often can be spotted snoozing by the flowers. ajrahn.com.
