Lurie Garden is a Downtown Draw

One of the top tour stops at the #GWA2018 Conference & Expo in Chicago, is a relatively secluded gem in the middle of the city’s most visited attraction.

Millennium Park, the 25-acre playground between Lake Michigan and Chicago’s downtown skyscrapers, attracts more than 13 million visitors a year. Only about 4 million of them venture through 12-foot-high hedges to discover a sweeping vista of masterfully blended perennials and trees: the Lurie Garden. The 2½-acre garden was designed by famed Dutch designer Piet Oudolf (who went on to design the High Line in New York City) and opened in 2004.

The sun rises out of a vast, sparkling lake. It sets behind some of the world’s most spectacular skyscrapers. In between and all around are some of the country’s most amazing public and private gardens. That’s why I can’t wait to show off Chicago—my city—to the members of GWA: The Association for Garden Communicators for the 70th annual Conference & Expo, co-hosted with the 2018 IGC Show, August 13 through 16.
