Isn’t this a lovely sight? Lurie Garden is located in Millenium Park, just a few steps away from Michigan Avenue. The garden has four seasons, just like weather. Plants and flowers are showcased based on the season. Some refer to it as ‘living art’; I quite agree!
In the midst of a busy and boisterous city that is Chicago, it’s such a pleasure to step away for a moment or two and walk through Lurie Garden. I think the word I want to use here is, “juxtaposition”. The two opposite sites look lovely together, I think.
The little walkways through the garden area actually ‘cut through’ a large and tall ‘wall’ of shrubbery. As you walk ‘through’ the bushes, the next thing you see are beautiful grasses and flowers that look as if you are walking through a Prairie grassland.
A nice reprieve for visitors and locals alike!

One of Chicago’s mottos is “Urbs in horto,” “City in a garden,” and the Park District uses the motto “Hortus in urbe,” “Garden in a city.” This shows why. (Mike Royko suggested the motto should be “Ubi est mea,” “Where’s mine?” He’s good reading, by the way.)
