On May 27th, a Thursday evening from 5 to 7 pm, I will initiate a series of 2010 Walks & Talks (yes, I do) in Chicago's Humboldt Park. We will meet at the Boathouse (above) and explore the Prairie River that the visionary landscape architect, Jens Jensen, created in the early 20th Century...since renovated. Design, History, Plants, Sustainability and Social Context will be explored. I will soon have further details on my website, but if you are interested, please send me an email. This year, we will focus on Public Gardens. We'll visit Humboldt Park (5/27 5 pm), the Lily Pond in Lincoln Park (Fri. 6/25 10 am), the Wicker Park Garden Club (and other nearby community gardens, Sat. 8/21 10 am) and the Lurie Garden in Millennium Park (Fri. 9/24 5 pm). We will then transition into the Botanic Garden and the Morton Arboretum as well as some private gardens for next year.
I must thank Amy Moses, Cheryl Bradford, Doug Woods and Judy Bramson for encouraging this idea. We will try different days and times and see how people respond. It will be fun!
