Any plant nurseries in Chicago area?

Hello Everyone.

Does anyone live in or familiar with the Chicago/West suburb area that can suggest any plant nurseries with fig plants? I'm here for a wedding next Sunday and will have a few days to roam around and look a bit. Any pointers would be great! I'm planning to call every place I can find on google maps but maybe someone knows a local or smaller locations selling fig varieties that I can't get back GA.

I will be there visiting family in mid-July. I grew up in the Chicago Western Suburbs- Elmwood Park to be exact. Most of the Nurseries I was familiar with are no longer around. You'll have to Google or look through phone book for local nurseries. Cicero (Capone's hang out), Melrose Park, Elmwood Park, River Forest, Franklin Park, Schiller Park, River Grove- big Italian communities in the Western Suburbs.
Sometimes Caputo's Italian Market will carry plants including fig trees. They have several locations. Good luck! I'm curious to hear from anyone that could help you too. Martin, any suggestions?

I went to 3 nurseries and called Capone's in Naperville. No one has figs and no one knows any places where they might carry them :/ I figured at least some place would have Hardy Chicago...
