You immediately forget that lake shore drive is right next to you. The temperature is so cool from all of the stone. So many places to sit & escape the city & watch the dragonflies. My favorite place - I’m almost sorry to be telling you about it.

“one of the most special spaces in the city, whether you’re there in spring, summer, or fall. the garden is an exquisite example of landscape architecture done to perfection, with gorgeous paths that wrap around the central water feature: a flowering lily pool. there’s also a Prairie-style architecture alcove for sitting and meditating or reading a book.”
